The Football Association of Ireland acknowledges today’s statement by Dundalk FC confirming that the members of their first team squad who breached COVID-19 protocols and travel guidelines are to be fined. 

We also welcome the apology by the players involved and their commitment to make a donation to a local charity.

The FAI engaged with Dundalk FC throughout this process and reminded all involved that, at a time when all Irish football is easing back into action with the assistance of all State agencies, this breach was most unwelcome and unacceptable.

In light of this and other recent incidents, the FAI reminds all players and all affiliates of their requirement to abide by all Government guidelines and FAI protocols and confirms that action will be taken against anyone who breaches COVID-19 protocols.
