New Stadium Finished
The new Aviva Stadium was unveiled to the public mid-May. The stadium which estimates its capacity as 50,000 had begun construction in 2007 when the FAI (Football Association of Ireland) and IRFU (Irish Rugby Football Union) agreed to demolish the old Landsdowne Road stadium which had stood since 1872. The old Landsdowne Road initially hosted only athletic games untill it hosted its first rugby match in December 1876. The first football match however was only played there in 1971 when Ireland played Italy in a friendly. Dalymount Park was the FAI's original national stadium.
