The GAA believe the decision to fix All-Ireland senior football championship qualifier games at home venues will lead to “better occasions”.

As part of the new football format, there will be no neutral venue, post-provincial matches until the quarter-finals in the Sam Maguire Cup and semi-finals in the Tailteann Cup.
