Dublin will not host games at Euro 2020 in June.
Three group stage matches and one last-16 tie were due to be played in the city this summer.
But UEFA says the government hasn't been able to guarantee that stadiums would be more than a quarter full.
The games will now be played at Wembley in London and St Petersburg in Russia instead.

Lord Mayor Hazel Chu says it's a blow to the city:
"At the same time our priority is to keep people safe."
She says she "fully understands" where the decision is coming from.
Adding, "but it's disappointing nonetheless."
