All-Ireland Football Championship revamp rejected

The GAA’s Special Congress has rejected proposals to revamp the All-Ireland football championship.

A vote was taken to revert to the system last seen in 2017, with qualifiers and quarter-finals, but no Super 8s.

Donegal had said it would not be supporting the proposal.

Proposal B, a league-based championship, received 50.6% of the vote, falling short of the 60% needed to carry the motion.

A total of 85 delegates voted in favour, 83 against the proposal.

Proposal A, four provincial groups of eight, was rejected by 90% of the delegates present.

Today’s result means a return to the pre-2018 qualifier system for next year’s championship, with the Tailteann Cup added in, meaning two rounds of qualifiers instead of four.

“I think this organisation will make change when the merits of a motion are structured correctly. By being the best on the table today doesn’t mean that it’s right,” Donegal’s Micheál McCann said.
