Court move could threaten sellout American football game

The Irish American Football Association is preparing to serve High Court proceedings against the US naval academy football team. The move could threaten its sellout game against Notre Dame at the Aviva stadium.

The proceedings are expected to come before the court this month and involve a row over sanctioning conditions for the game.

The Irish American FootballAssociation (IAFA) is the national governing body for American Football in Ireland and is recognised by the Irish Sports Council and the Federation of Irish Sports.
