The FAI have announced their upcoming Annual General Meeting will be held in Cork for the first time in eight years.

The FAI last held their AGM on Leeside back in 2018 as part of the Festival of Football which was taking place in the area at the time, and it would prove to be the last meeting during the reign of John Delaney.

The meeting is returning to the Rebel County due to the UEFA Regions Cup which is being held at Turner’s Cross on the same afternoon.

“Notice is hereby given that the 2026 Annual General Meeting of the Football Association of Ireland will take place on Saturday 7th November 2026 at 11.30 am,” said a statement from the FAI.

“The meeting is being held in the Clayton Hotel Silver Springs Conference Centre, Cork.

“The UEFA Regions Cup is being held in the Cork area and this meeting is being held in Cork to allow AGM attendees also attend the Ireland vs Croatia match which kicks off in Turners Cross at 3 p.m. Complimentary match tickets will be provided to all AGM attendees on the day.

“The provisional Agenda for the meeting is enclosed with this notice, as are the minutes of the AGM in 2025, the Directors’ Report and Financial Statements for 2025 and other information relevant to the meeting.”
