The hosting of four matches in Dublin as part of the UEFA Euro 2020 tournament is a collaborative effort between Football Association of Ireland (FAI) and Dublin City Council (DCC), with the support of the Government.

The cost of hosting the matches is being shared by the FAI, UEFA, Dublin City Council and Government. The Government will contribute to the costs of a public transport programme, policing and security costs, and a promotional programme. Work is ongoing on the design and content of those programmes and following that the tournament budget will be finalised.
