GAA issues renewed endorsement of Allianz partnership

Michael Bolton

GAA Central Council meeting has overwhelmingly agreed to continue its sponsorship agreement with Allianz.

The decision follows a recommendation from their Ethics and Integrity Commission report last December.

Tyrone GAA had called for them to drop the sponsorship.

In a statement, the GAA said that the latest endorsement of the Allianz sponsorship came following a “comprehensive discussion” and that it was “overwhelmingly agreed” to back the decision originally taken last December.

Among the other business covered at Friday night’s meetings was the circulation of a draft of the 2027 Masters Fixture Plan for 2027 to all counties for review.

The final document will be presented at a meeting in October.

It was also confirmed that the applications for the Republic of Ireland v Kazakhstan Women’s World Cup qualifier and Munster’s Champions Cup game against Racing 92 at SuperValu Páirc Uí Chaoimh in October have both been approved.

The football match takes place on October 13th, four days before the rugby.
