Galway Football Club (Irish: Cumann Peile na Gaillimhe) are an Irish football club located in Galway. The board of the club, founded in October 2013, contains representatives of Mervue United, Salthill Devon, GUST and the Galway FA
Overview
Since Galway United F.C. exited the League of Ireland at the end of 2011 season, a supporters' group representing fans of Galway United, known as GUST (Galway United Supporters Trust), attempted to facilitate the return of Galway United to the League of Ireland but an application for the 2012 season was made after the deadline and in 2012 GUST were refused the opportunity to submit their application.
During 2013, discussions were held with Galway clubs, Mervue United and Salthill Devon along with the Galway Football Association and GUST, about having one unified team representing the county of Galway at the top level of Irish football as it was Football Association of Ireland's wish that one club should represent the city of Galway.[1] In late 2013, Galway FC was established.[2]
The club submitted a request to join the League of Ireland First Division for the 2014 season.[3]
