St. Francis Football Club can confirm we have made contact to the FAI regarding an expression of interest in partaking in the League of Ireland first division.

The FAI asked for expressions of interest around placing a team in the 1st Division of the League of Ireland by 10th November 2020.

It is potentially an aim of the club to regain its League of Ireland status as part of the many development pathways we want to offer for our members of all ages and the local community that St Francis serves.

As such we have written to the FAI to express an interest in rejoining the league of Ireland; and have asked for a meeting to consider the feasibility either now or in the future of having, not just a Senior team, but underage teams for both boys and girls, playing in the national leagues.
