Facility Notes: Belgium's Proposed Euro 2020 Stadium Hits Snag

Brussels MP Arnaud Verstraete from the Green party subpoenaed the region of Brussels over Belgium’s proposed stadium for Euro 2020. The process is "the latest hitch in the construction of the venue." Verstraete has initiated court proceedings regarding the underground parking lot "and has demanded that all contracts and agreements about the 'Eurostadion' be disclosed." The construction of the stadium "has faced bureaucratic obstacles and delays in recent months, as protests against the stadium have grown." Detractors claim that the stadium is "a venture for private profit," led by Brussels Minister of Finance Guy Vanhengel and Alderman Alain Courtois (INSIDE WORLD FOOTBALL, 1/19).

Negotiations for Dublin Gaelic Athletic Association to purchase the Spawell complex in Templeogue are "ongoing, though there is no sign of the deal being finalized." Discussions between Dublin and a Davy-managed investment fund "have been protracted" and reports that an agreement will be signed before the end of the month "appear premature." County board GAA execs, while "optimistic of a successful resolution, are reluctant to comment while deliberations are ongoing" (IRISH INDEPENDENT, 1/19).
