Mayo FC to Benefit from Budget 2026
Mayo FC has been allocated two full-time staff as part of the Budget 2026 announcement, which will support the future growth of the club.
The club will recruit two full-time personnel, with roles yet to be specified, although Mayo FC Chairman Joe Faughnan suspects they will be an Academy Manager and Director of Coaching.
Following Brexit, Irish players are having to wait until they are 18 to make the move to England to play the game, and this announcement will help towards the development of players here at home.
This allocation is part of a larger investment in Irish soccer, which will bring the total number of full-time staff in the 26 academies across Ireland from 10 to over 60.
