Ireland and the UK's bid to host Euro 2028 is poised to get the formal seal of approval on Tuesday.
The UEFA executive committee is set to give the green light to the bid, which is unopposed after Turkey withdrew last week to focus on its joint bid with Italy for Euro 2032.
The RTÉ News Channel will broadcast the Euro host announcement live from 11am on Tuesday morning.
Ten stadia were included in the Irish and UK bid submission in April. Six of the venues are in England, with two in Ireland and one each in Scotland and Wales.
A redeveloped Casement Park in Belfast, the Aviva Stadium in Dublin, Hampden Park in Glasgow and the Principality Stadium in Cardiff are included in the submission.
The six in England are Wembley, the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, the Etihad Stadium, St James' Park, Villa Park and Everton's new home at Bramley-Moore Dock.
DAVE KELLY: QUESTIONS STILL AS IRELAND TO BE CONFIRMED AS EURO HOST
Even with Turkey in the running, the five-nation bid was the overwhelming favourite to be selected.
Senior UEFA sources have indicated the importance of another Euro in a major football market, following on from next year's tournament in Germany, as European football's governing body seeks to further replenish its reserves after the financial shock of the Covid-19 pandemic.
The five football associations behind the bid released a joint statement last week following Turkey's withdrawal, stating they had a "compelling" and "ground-breaking" proposal for UEFA to consider, which would deliver "lasting legacies" across the whole of Ireland and the UK.
There are nevertheless some major issues that need to be addressed if the bid is accepted by the ExCo.
For a start, the Casement Park site is derelict and plans by the GAA to redevelop it with a 34,000 capacity have been hit by delays.
The Casement project has been delayed by a series of legal challenges and is further complicated by the lack of a functioning Executive at Stormont.
The GAA is part-funding the project but has yet to reach an agreement with Stormont on how to cover a multi-million-pound shortfall.
In August, Ulster GAA said that they remain committed to work beginning on Casement Park in early 2024 despite one of their joint venture partners filing a notice of intention to appoint administrators.
Qualification for all of the hosts is not guaranteed.
UEFA's preferred approach is that all five nations enter qualification, with two host-nation places kept in reserve for any that fail to make it.
However, if more than two do not qualify by right, then only the best two to miss out will be given host-nation places.
