Update 2 – 11/08/08: Further to discussions with the Department of Foreign Affairs, who are currently advising against non essential travel to Georgia, the FAI has today written to FIFA, UEFA and the Georgian FA, to indicate that its preferred option would be to find an alternative venue on the same date for the Group 8 World Cup qualifier against Georgia. The FAI will keep fans informed of any decision from FIFA on this matter and will continue to work with FIFA to enable them to make a timely decision.
Update 1: The FAI views with concern the escalation of hostilities in Georgia ahead of next month’s World Cup qualifier match in Tbilisi. We will continue to work closely with the Department of Foreign Affairs, FIFA, UEFA and the Georgian Football Association to keep fans informed of any updates and advice from these bodies as they become available.
