Northern Ireland soccer manager Michael O’Neill has called on the team’s supporters to get behind plans to play Euro 2028 fixtures at a redeveloped Casement Park.

His comments come after chants opposing the project could be heard at Northern Ireland’s Euro 2024 qualifiers against San Marino and Slovenia at Windsor Park in the past week, while there were also ‘No Casement’ banners on display.

"Everyone is entitled to their opinion on it," he said

"This is what the association have done in terms of the bid. There's a lot of opinion on that, we have to take that into account. Supporters, of course, are equally as important as anyone in this situation, but I can't change it.

"I would like to see it supported. I think it's really important we get the opportunity to play and be a host nation, but equally I respect the opinions of everyone and what their view may be on it."
