Updated: Map of all Past and Present professional soccer clubs in Ireland

20 comments

  1. To note as an earlier versions was posted previously here or cross posted from r/leagueofIreland , the updates are all the former top division clubs from after 1950 have been added to the map including likes of Monaghan town, Kildare fc, old Cork and Dublin clubs etc.

    Also added is the new incoming Kerry FC club that should be entering into the 1st division in 2023.

    This map may become more relevant in time as a lot of the former top clubs featured are still present as Senior regional league clubs or underage clubs. This is pertinent because there is serious discussion of a 3rd division coming into existence soon. (As is the case up North)

    Edit: Also credit to [the Forgotten Clubs site](https://forgottenclubs.wordpress.com/irish-clubs/) which serves as fantastic source on all these former professional or top-level clubs

  2. Other things to note even with defunct pro clubs shown, there is such a dearth of soccer clubs in certain areas of the republic such as Mayo, south midlands, Clare, Meath etc

  3. Seen there was talk of Kilkenny’s soccer stadium being regenerated. Be good to see as soccer is big down there funny enough. Maybe the Kilkenny-Carlow youth club could create something senior.

  5. Are Monaghan active at the moment? We’ve had CMUL (cavan and monagnan) underage teams but have we a senior team going? Hopefully we do.

    Wasn’t that long we were gonna be in Fifa back in the early 2010’s

  8. Ballyclare Comrades is in the wrong spot (Ballyclare is a town about 10 miles from Larne.)

    Dundela FC is also missing. If I see anything else, I’ll let you know.

    Great work though and enjoyable to look at.

  10. Incoming yank dumb question: When is (are?) the season(s)? Would like to catch a game in November if possible and no idea where to look to find a schedule.
