Ireland’s Euro 2020 playoff semi-final against Slovakia will take place in the newly-redevloped Tehelné pole stadium in Bratislava. The Slovaks played all of their qualifiers in nearby Trnava and haven’t played a competitive game in Bratislava since 2015 as the ground was being renovated. “They’re obliged to provide us with 5per cent of the tickets (1,125) but conversations are going on about accessing further tickets. “They’re not obliged to give us any more so it would be something we negotiate. “It’s a new stadium and a new pitch and it’s my understanding that there had been some teething difficulties.”
