FAI Plans to introduce unified calendar met with resistance from Galway Clubs

FAI Plans to introduce a unified calendar schedule have met with resistance from Galway’s Soccer Clubs.

Under the plan, all leagues in the country would start in February and continue to November.

The Majority of leagues currently run from September to May.

Representatives from many of the Galway soccer clubs recently met to discuss the FAI’s plan to introduce a calendar year schedule under their Football Pathways Plan and have voiced their opposition citing major concerns for young player welfare.
