The Club Players Association (CPA) have called on the GAA to go ahead with Special Congress later this year so that urgent action can be taken to change to fixtures calendar and help end the “poisonous” club versus county atmosphere.

Prior to the pandemic, a Special Congress to vote on the structure of the All-Ireland senior football championship as well as other proposals by the national fixtures review group had been scheduled for September.
