The 2021 SSE Airtricity League season could see Cork City play home league games at somewhere other than Turner’s Cross for the first time since 1996, though the ground’s owner, the Munster Football Association, has expressed its commitment to keeping league football at the venue.

It was revealed that Grovemoor Ltd will not be exercising its call-option to purchase City at the current time. In October, almost 70% of the members of Foras, the supporters’ trust which has held ownership of City since 2010, voted in favour of granting a purchase option to Grovemoor.
