Two existing board members will contest the election to replace Sarah Keane as president of the Olympic Federation of Ireland at an Extraordinary General Meeting early next month.

Keane has served two four-year terms in the role and cannot seek a third under terms drawn up when the federation underwent a transformation from the old Olympic Council of Ireland which had been headed as president by Pat Hickey for 28 years.
