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 10metre x 6metre fully HD screen with a state-of-the-art stadium sound system installed for the event.

Paul Bellew, Chairperson of Galway GAA said: ‘We are delighted the Galway Fanzone will take place in Pearse Stadium on All Ireland Final day. A big thank to you to Galway City Council for making this family friendly event happen and we hope it will prove to be a memorable day for all.’
