An Independent Appeal Committee of the FAI has today rejected Drogheda United FC's appeal to have their spectators banned from attending their next away fixture against Shamrock Rovers FC on 20 October 2023 at Tallaght Stadium. This ban follows an incident where a Match Official was struck by a pyrotechnic during the SSE Airtricity Men's Premier Division fixture between Dundalk FC and Drogheda United FC at Oriel Park on 29 September 2023.
The FAI acknowledges the great work carried out by League of Ireland clubs in relation to spectator misconduct and recognises that this behaviour is by a minority of individuals. However, the FAI maintains a strict zero tolerance approach towards spectator misconduct and is committed to ensuring that League of Ireland matches remain a safe and welcoming environment for everyone.
