The Irish FA have formally submitted a bid to UEFA for Windsor Park to host the 2021 Super Cup.

They are up against Helsinki's Olympic Stadium, Belarus' Dinamo Stadium and the Metalist Stadium in Kharkiv, Ukraine.

The Super Cup match, which is usually staged in August, sees the Champions League winners take on the Europa League winners.

Windsor Park, the home of Northern Ireland, has a capacity of 18,434 after it was refurbished in 2016.

The 2021 Champions League final will be played at either Bayern Munich's Allianz Arena in Germany or the St Petersburg stadium in Russia after both countries submitted their bids.
