The dates are set, the kick-off times are fixed, the venues are booked and the teams are ready for the First Round of the 2022 EVOKE.ie FAI Women's Cup.

After such a successful year in 2021, the excitement is already building as 12 teams get the competition started on the second weekend in July.

The aim is to reach this year's final in Tallaght Stadium on Sunday, November 6th because last year's record-breaking attendance made it the showpiece event of the domestic women's football calendar.

Tickets are already on sale for this year's Cup Final, which promises to be another memorable event.

The First Round gets underway with four games on Saturday, July 9th before two more games finish out the fixtures on Sunday, July 10th.

Last year's finalists Wexford Youths and Shelbourne have been given a bye into the next round.

As part of the 'No Ref, No Game' initiative, all clubs will organise a guard of honour for their match officials as they enter the field of play ahead of kick-off.
