Aviva Stadium is Ireland's principal national stadium, jointly operated by the Football Association of Ireland and the Irish Rugby Football Union. Opened in 2010 on the historic Lansdowne Road site, its translucent curved roof has become a recognisable landmark of the Dublin skyline. The ground sits in the Ballsbridge neighbourhood of south Dublin, served directly by the Lansdowne Road DART station — one of the rare top-tier European stadiums with a railway platform inside the ground itself. As Ireland's primary EURO 2028 venue, Aviva is expected to stage three group-stage matches and likely a round-of-16 fixture.

Frequently asked questions

Does Aviva Stadium have a train station inside?
Yes. Lansdowne Road DART station sits within the stadium grounds, making Aviva one of the few top-tier European venues with rail access this close. Trains run every 10-15 minutes from central Dublin on matchdays.
How will EURO 2028 matches at Aviva differ from FAI internationals?
EURO 2028 follows UEFA regulations on capacity, segregation and signage, which differ from FAI internationals. Expect tighter security perimeters, dedicated fan zones and a multi-language matchday experience.
