Champions League-style draw for SFC proposed by players

Inter-county footballers have given tentative support to a Champions League-style format change to the All-Ireland championship.

GPA head of communications Seán Potts confirmed the official players’ body have sent a submission to the Football Review Committee (FRC), which will draft a motion on a possible structure change for next year’s Congress.

However, he stressed there wasn’t consensus on the idea and envisages the process of the GAA finding a viable alternative to the current structure to be more divisive than the debate surrounding the playing rule changes.
