FIFA clear three more eircom League players

FIFA have granted exemptions to Article 5.3 to a further three eircom League of Ireland players.

Following on from last Friday’s decision to grant exemptions to three players, a total of six exemptions have now been granted. The latest players to be granted exemptions are: John Brophy (Shelbourne), Willie Doyle (Monaghan United), Ray Scully (Waterford United).

All three players have been cleared to play in competitive games for their clubs with immediate effect. Last Friday, FIFA cleared Alan Cawley (Bray Wanderers), Shaun Holmes (Finn Harps) and Gary Rogers (Galway United).

The FAI today expressed its delight at the decision to clear a further three players. There are four remaining cases to be ruled on and the FAI hopes to receive word on a number of these cases by Friday.
