Latest news on the FAI website

After having had to re-install the operating system last week, the central part of the FAI website is now working (although some links and images are still missing), as well as the FAI Sporting Licence Database. The work to progressively restore other sections of the FAI website (documents, commissions, records, events, etc) will therefore be able to resume.


We are sorry for any inconvenience this situation may cause and thank you for your understanding and patience.
