The UK-Ireland bid to host Euro 2028 has been submitted to UEFA with Croke Park excluded from the proposed stadia to be used in favour of the Aviva Stadium and a redeveloped Casement Park.
Yesterday the Government agreed final details of Ireland's participation.
Details were signed off at an incorporeal Cabinet meeting.
Wembley Stadium, Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Etihad Stadium, St James' Park, the new Everton Stadium in Liverpool and an expanded Villa Park would feature in England.
Wales would be represented with the Millennium Stadium, Scotland by Hampden Park and the two Irish stadia make up the 10 proposed venues.
While the GAA granted permission for both Croke Park and Casement Park to be used, only the yet-to-be built Belfast stadium has been included.
FAI CEO Jonathan Hill said that Aviva Stadium was selected over Croke Park due to a limit of one stadium per city rule, apart from London.
"In all major bid processes, you start with a shortlist of stadia, and this is whittled down to a final agreed list in order to give the bid the best chance of success and reflects the streamlined nature of the tournament.
"This bid started with 14 Stadia, and we now have our agreed final 10 which have been submitted. The bid, with the exemption of London, is based on a 'one city, one stadia' principle and together we believe the list offers an array of superb stadia from across the UK and Ireland," said Hill, who added the tournament would be worth approximately €240m to the Irish economy.
"This will only support our plans to grow the game and will act as a catalyst as we seek to finance infrastructure across all levels of Irish football, from grassroots to League of Ireland.
"Our hope is to welcome football fans from Europe and across the world to Dublin for a number of great games in 2028 and that is a really exciting prospect for all of us."
A statement of behalf of the bidding team say they are submitting "a detailed plan that shows how our nations are collaborating to stage an historic football festival for all of Europe and take the tournament to new heights".
They say the bid is enhanced enhanced by "excellent technical facilities and operational experience".
Taoiseach Leo Varadkar and Minister for Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media Catherine Martin reiterated the Irish Government's support for the joint bid.
The Taoiseach said: "I am happy that the Government has agreed to support the Ireland and UK joint bid for UEFA EURO 2028. This tournament represents a huge opportunity for Ireland to welcome Europe and the world to our shores, to display our world-class facilities and to host an event that benefits all. It is also an opportunity to ensure long-lasting benefits for League of Ireland, local and youth football.
"I am particularly pleased that the collaborative effort has worked well and has served to strengthen ties with our partners, north-south and east-west."
Minister Catherine Martin added: "Officials will now work with all bid partners between now and UEFA’s announcement of the EURO 2028 hosts to further support the bid. This tournament has the potential to deliver tremendous benefits for Ireland, particularly for the tourism and hospitality sector, which will be poised to host thousands of football fans with the island of Ireland’s world famous warm welcome."
England hosted several Euro 2020 matches at Wembley Stadium when the tournament featured matches throughout Europe.
Almost three million tournament tickets would be available if the bid is successful, more than any other previous Championships.
The average stadia capacity will be 58,000, with the new Casement by far the smallest venue at 34,500.
The rebuild has been met with significant delays but is expected to be ready for the event in five years.
Republic of Ireland captain Seamus Coleman and his counterparts from the other nations, Harry Kane, Steven Davis, Andy Robertson and Aaron Ramsey have shown their support for the bid.
Turkey are also in the running to host the tournament.
A decision is expected in either September or October.
