Statement - FAI Disciplinary
Following the conclusion of a disciplinary process, Ryan Rainey, player at Finn Harps FC has been suspended from all football-related activity for a period of six months for breaching the FAI Disciplinary Regulations relating to betting.
These breaches are connected to a number of League of Ireland and Men’s FAI Cup games between 2021-2024 and a significant number of bets placed on football worldwide in 2024. The sanction was imposed by an Independent Disciplinary Committee following a disciplinary hearing and the FAI acknowledges their decision.
All individuals involved in football are urged to familiarise themselves with the FAI Disciplinary Regulations relating to betting as set out in the FAI Governance Handbook and are encouraged to reach out to the FAI for additional information if they wish.
