Derry City to resume League of Ireland season behind closed doors

Derry City will resume their League of Ireland campaign behind-closed-doors.

The move was confirmed by the Derry City & Strabane District Council today ahead of Friday’s home clash with Sligo Rovers.

On the same day, 500 fans will attend the Irish Cup final between Glentoran and Ballymena United at Windsor Park in Belfast.

It follows the easing of Covid-19 restrictions in Northern Ireland with a limited number of spectators allowed at outdoor sporting events.

But the Ryan McBride Brandywell in Derry will remain closed to fans although the council says it will review the situation on a “daily basis”.

A Council official said the decision to play behind-closed-doors was taken "in accordance with FAI and Government guidance relating to numbers".
