Cork Centre of Excellence holds keys to future

Holding the keys to a state-of-the-art home will future-proof League of Ireland football in Cork against the kind of fluctuations it has suffered in the past.

That was the key message at Cork County Hall yesterday, at the launch of the proposed Munster football Centre of Excellence — which will also operate as a training base for Cork City FC.

The project is a partnership agreement between the FAI, FORAS — the trust that operates City — and Cork County Council.
