FAI members have voted to increase the size of the organisation's board from 12 to 14. 

The vote to extend the board - taken at an EGM at Radisson Blu St. Helen’s Hotel in Dublin - ensures the FAI will meet gender balance requirements set out in Government policy and in turn, salvages half of the FAI’s state funding for 2024.
