FAI postpone AGM until September and are 'seeking further financial assistance'

The FAI have pushed back their AGM, scheduled for July 25, to September due to Covid-19 restrictions.

It comes as the organisation has said it is still seeking funding to ensure its 'continued viability'.

A FAI statement said today: "The AGM, originally scheduled for Galway on July 25, has been rescheduled in line with COVID-19 restrictions and to allow for the newly appointed external auditors Grant Thornton to prepare accounts.

"Council members have also been informed that an EGM will be held in the near future to vote on the required changes to the FAI Rule Book and Constitution as the FAI pushes on with governance reform.

"In the letter from the Chairperson [Roy Barrett], council members have also been informed that the FAI is now seeking further financial assistance to ensure the continued viability of the Association.

"This support has been sought along with other national sporting organisations who have also been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic."

The FAI gave the green light this week for the resumption of the SSE Airtricity League on July 31.
