A decision in the matter of Glentoran FC v Irish FA has been issued by an arbitral tribunal.

On 21 April 2022, Ms Jane Bickerstaff QC, sitting as an independent sole arbitrator, heard the appeal of Glentoran FC against a decision of the Challenge Cup Committee of the Irish Football Association pursuant to signed arbitration agreement.

It was found that Glentoran FC had fielded an ineligible player in the Irish Cup quarter final match against Newry City AFC.
