"The government will put €3m towards the funding of League of Ireland academies in 2026 as part of a new multi-annual commitment from the state that will allow the number of full-time staff working in the game to increase."
"Today's budget will confirm that the lobbying for support led by the League of Ireland department within the FAI has been successful, even if they have not secured the full amount requested in the pre-budget submission that was detailed by the Irish Independent last Friday."
The government will allocate €3m in 2026 to fund League of Ireland academies as part of a new multi-annual state commitment. The funding will enable an increase in the number of full-time staff working in the game. Today's budget will confirm that commitment. Lobbying for support was led by the League of Ireland department within the FAI. That lobbying achieved a successful outcome in securing state funding. The funding falls short of the full amount requested in the pre-budget submission detailed by the Irish Independent last Friday.
