The All-Ireland Senior Football Final between Galway and Armagh will be up on the big screen in Pearse Stadium for fans who can’t make it to Dublin next weekend.
A Galway Fanzone will be created at Pearse Stadium, Salthill on Sunday 28 July for the All-Ireland Senior Football Final.
The fanzone is being organised by Galway City Council and it will be a free, ticketed event. Tickets will be available shortly from www.GalwayCity.ie.
Mayor of Galway City, Cllr Peter Keane said, ‘I am delighted that Galway City Council will host this family-friendly event for the All-Ireland football final.”
“The clash between Galway and Armagh is going to be an epic battle in Croke Park, and it will be great for thousands to be able to watch it on the big screen here in Pearse Stadium.”
“At full time I am hopeful that the Tribesmen will be returning the Sam Maguire back to the West!”
Patrons will be accommodated both on the field and in the stand depending on their ticket.
The match will be shown on a 10m x 6m fully HD screen with a state-of-the-art stadium sound system installed for the event.
