Casement Park (Irish: Páirc Mhic Asmaint)[4][5] is the principal Gaelic games stadium in Belfast, Northern Ireland, that served as the home ground of the Antrim hurling and Gaelic football teams. It is located in Andersonstown Road in the west of the city, and is named after the Irish revolutionary Roger Casement. In 2015, the stadium had a capacity of approximately 31,500.[1]
The stadium was closed as of June 2013,[3] and by 2021 was in a state of dereliction, with redevelopment plans pending for several years.[6] While planning permission for the redevelopment of Casement Park was confirmed in July 2021,[7] by March 2023, it remained closed.[8] A successful combined bid by the Republic of Ireland and England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales to host UEFA Euro 2028, includes a proposal to redevelop the stadium by 2028.[4] While, by March 2024, some demolition work had commenced, uncertainty remained over the funding and timing of the proposed redevelopment.[9]

Additionally, the OBC was informed by the multi-agency review of April 2009 that further informed the safety certificate revisions in 2010.
