The Football Association of Ireland acknowledges the latest guidelines from Government around the COVID-19 pandemic.

Based on these new guidelines, the FAI now advises all stakeholders that the only football permitted from December 24th until further guidance from Government is as follows:

- SSE Airtricity League and Women’s National League football at adult level only

- Non-contact training in pods of 15 for all other footballers but only within their county of residence

- All other football activity – including assessments and trials – is prohibited until further notice

The FAI will remain in communication with Government regarding these guidelines and will update all affiliates at the earliest opportunity.
