FAI Board welcomes 2024 Government MOU

The Board of the Football Association of Ireland welcomes the new 2024 Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). This has been agreed following months of positive engagement with Minister Catherine Martin, Minister Thomas Byrne and the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media.

The €6 million per annum outlined in the new MOU will enable the Association to continue to support and develop Ireland’s most participated sport through to the end of 2027.
 
The 2024 MOU outlines 16 recommendations and conditions from Government which is a substantial reduction from the 163 in the previous agreement. This is a strong reflection of the FAI’s hard work and commitment to the MOU since 2020, and we look forward to partnering positively with Government in the coming years.
 
Along with this week’s announcement of record amounts of funding to LOI clubs through the Large Scale Sport Infrastructure Fund (LSSIF) and the recent allocation of €45.8m through the Community Sport Facility Fun (CSFF), this 2024 MOU is further reinforcement that Government sees the value in investing into Irish football.
