Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media
Football Association of Ireland's Facility Investment Vision and Strategy, and Governance Issues: Discussion
Mr. Jonathan Hill:
On the level we would negotiate, I will not say the number as a few conversations are ongoing. My view remains the same on the national team - it is representative of a new and diverse Ireland. Knowing the players in the squad, I remain hopeful we will find a sponsor who buys into what they represent. There will be a new head coach in 2024 and 22,500 season tickets have already been sold for 2024. We have worked to make the experience at the Aviva Stadium as good as it was in the games against France, Portugal and Holland. That was the best experience anyone could have had in the Aviva Stadium this year. It is a positive story with which to go into 2024.
