Dublin will host one last-16 game and three group games at Euro 2020, UEFA has announced.
England has won the right to host the final and semi-finals. UEFA also announced that Scotland will host matches, but there was bitter disappointment for Wales who missed out in their bid for games at Cardiff's Millennium Stadium.
UEFA is staging the tournament in 13 cities across Europe to mark the 60th anniversary of the first European Championships.

The successful bid will see the Aviva Stadium hosting four matches over a three-week period in June 2020.
“Our business, transport and tourism infrastructure along with a world class stadium played a major part in delivering the bid for Ireland," said Chief Executive of the FAI, John Delaney.
"Along with full political support and everyone involved has worked superbly as a team to bring this event to Dublin. Together, we now look forward to playing our part in hosting what promises to be a ground-breaking, European wide celebration of football.”
The Minister for Sport, Michael Ring, congratulated all involved and said it was a "marvellous opportunity".
"To have an opportunity to host part of a tournament that is normally the reserve of Europe’s bigger nations represents a unique opportunity for Ireland," he said.
"We are a country that is passionate about football and look forward to welcoming the cream of European football to our shores in 2020."
Glasgow's Hampden Park will also hold three group games and a last-16 game, alongside Copenhagen, Bucharest, Amsterdam, Bilbao, Budapest and Brussels.
The quarter-finals and three group matches will be held in Munich, Baku, Rome and St Petersburg.
The Euro tournament is one of the world's biggest sporting events, with an audience of 1.9 billion over the course of the competition.
