Under the new Super 8s format which was approved by Congress in 2017, each team are due to play their opening game at Croke Park, with one home game and one away game to follow.
It was confirmed today that Dublin and Donegal has been fixed for Saturday 14 July at 7pm in Croke Park, but the Dubs are set to host either Armagh or Roscommon for their designated home game, which is also expected to take place at HQ.
Donegal said: “Following the announcement today by the CCCC regarding venues for the All-Ireland quarter-final group stage (Super 8s) games, CLG Dhún na nGall are to seek a meeting with GAA officials to seek clarification on how any county may use a ground as both neutral and a home venue.
“The intention of the meeting is to ensure a level playing field for every team who will qualify for the All-Ireland quarter-final group stage and ensure that no team has any advantage over any other team.”
