Northern Ireland Travel

Northern Ireland have been drawn in Group C and to help fans with their travel plans, we have put some information together for each of the destinations. We realise that flight prices do increase with demand but please be aware that it isn’t advisable to book travel until the venue for the matches have been confirmed.

Italy
Italy have always played their home international matches at various venues all over the country. Until the venue is confirmed, it is difficult to give any travel advice. Where ever the game is played, there are good links to Italy from all parts of the UK.

Serbia
Serbia play their home matches at the Red Star Stadium in Belgrade which has a capacity of over 55,000. There are no direct flights to Belgrade from Belfast but plenty of airlines offer connections via other European cities. A wide range of hotels are available in Belgrade and can be booked online.
