Cork City-Celtic clash could be worth €200k to Cork GAA

The match can raise similar revenue to previous Munster games at the venue, as long as it sells out.

July’s Cork City-Celtic FC friendly at Páirc Uí Chaoimh will be worth €150,000-€200,000 to Cork GAA, provided the game is a sell-out.

Asked by the Irish Examiner what was the monetary value of the game to Cork GAA, county board secretary Kevin O’Donovan said the figure would be similar to the €150,000-€200,000 range quoted in advance of last year’s Munster-Crusaders rugby fixture at Páirc Uí Chaoimh.
