Ireland was involved in Euro 2016 reaching the round of 16 but were defeated by France who won 2-1 thanks two second-half goals from Antoine Griezmann who replied to Robert Brady's second-minute penalty.
Ireland is not assured of automatic qualification due to the UK having four countries England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland as part of the proposed host.
It is currently unclear if England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland will be granted automatic qualification.
UEFA rules state that in the case of more than two co-hosts, the automatic qualification of all the host teams cannot be guaranteed. Football Association of Ireland (FAI) have not confirmed if Ireland will automatically qualify for Euro 2028.
