Under-age League Details Confirmed

The SSE Airtricity Under-age Leagues will begin a truncated 2020 season on the weekend of Saturday, August 15. Due to COVID-19 pandemic, the start of the under-age leagues was postponed in March but will now commence in August in accordance with the FAI Safer Return to Play Protocol. Each league will play a shortened season in smaller groups to localise matches as much as possible. There will be five groups in the U-13, U-17 & U-19 leagues with six groups in the U-15 league, and a knock-out competition to follow in either the finals or Shield competition. In the U-13 & U-17 leagues which is comprised of five groups, each group of four will play each other twice whilst the group of six will play each other once. The top team in each group will qualify for the finals as well as the three best runners-up. Those teams will then go into two groups of four and play each other once with the top-two teams set to compete in the final. In the U-17 league, the final will be two-legged. All other teams will compete in a Shield competition with the format to be confirmed at a later date. In the U-15 league, with six groups rather than five and with one group of four, each group will play each other twice with the top team from each group and the two best runners-up set to qualify for the finals. In the U-19 league, with five groups of four teams, each team will play each other twice with the top team from each group and the three best runners-up set to qualify for the finals. The finals will consist of two groups of four with the top team in each group set to contest a two-legged final.
