"I met with FAI chief executive John Delaney in Dublin today alongside my party colleagues Karen Mullan and Raymond McCartney to discuss the potential for Derry to be involved in the UEFA U21 Championships in 2023.
We agreed to continue to explore a range of possibilities on how Derry and the wider north-west could be involved in the joint bid for Ireland to host the UEFA Under 21 Championships in 2023.
