The FAI won’t be extending their betting sponsorship ban to League of Ireland clubs after Shamrock Rovers yesterday donned a betting partner on the front of their shirts.

Fresh from FAI Cup holders Dundalk partnering with a gaming company for the new season, the league champions also opted to allow a gambling firm to become their marquee sponsors.
