Project Description

Casement Park is the third and final project to be delivered under the Executive’s Regional Stadia Programme.  The project will provide a new stadium at Casement Park in Belfast, with a capacity in the region of 34,500.  In addition to accommodating modern facilities for players, spectators, conferencing and corporate hospitality, the stadium will also include extensive community facilities and space for cultural, heritage and education activities. As evidenced by the completed Kingspan and Windsor Park stadia, the Casement Park project will deliver social and economic benefits to the local community and beyond, both during construction and operation phases.

SIB supports delivery of this commitment through provision of a Programme Director to the Regional Stadia Programme and Project Director to the Casement Park project under a service level agreement to the Department for Communities.
