FAI proposes 12-team Airtricity League for 2013

The organisation are also seeking expressions of interest for First Division licences.

THE FAI’S BOARD of management today announced a number of structural changes set to be made to the League of Ireland.

The Board has recommended a 12-club Airtricity League Premier Division for next season.

11 teams are currently competing in the Premier Division this season, following Monaghan United’s collapse earlier in the year.

Meanwhile, the organisation will also begin seeking expressions of interest for First Division licences from clubs or new entities.

Interested clubs have been invited to apply for an Airtricity League First Division license ahead of the 2013 season.
