"Slavia Prague's Fortuna Stadium has a capacity of only 19,500, meaning just 975 tickets up for grabs for Irish fans"
"Ireland manager Heimir Hallgrimsson has admitted he is disappointed the travelling fans for the World Cup play-offs away to Czechia will be more than halved due to restrictions on the match venue, which is almost certain to be in the capital Prague. Hallgrimsson has also suggested to the FAI that it take steps to prevent Lansdowne Road being so accommodating to away fans, should the Republic of Ireland get through to a home play-off final against either Denmark or North Macedonia."
Slavia Prague's Fortuna Stadium has a capacity of only 19,500, which limits Irish supporters to just 975 tickets for the away World Cup play-off in Prague. Heimir Hallgrimsson is disappointed that travelling fans for the play-off against Czechia will be more than halved due to restrictions at the match venue in the capital. Hallgrimsson suggested to the Football Association of Ireland that it take steps to prevent Lansdowne Road being so accommodating to away fans if the Republic of Ireland reach a home play-off final. Possible home opponents are Denmark or North Macedonia.
