Mayor of Galway City Eddie Hoare honoured the Galway United team for their astonishing run in the League of Ireland last year.
Galway United secured promotion to the Premier Division after claiming the position of First Division Champions 2023 in a stampede to victory.
This achievement was honoured with a Mayoral Reception in City Hall earlier this month.
Cllr. Eddie Hoare extended his sincere congratulations to the members of the team, the coaches, management, their friends and family.
“It is my pleasure to recognise this team of outstanding, and dedicated sports people; the ‘back room’ team in coaching and management; and the family, friends and fans who have supported you in your path to promotion in the SSE Airtricity League of Ireland.”
“36 matches throughout the 2023 League delivered 30 wins and 4 draws, with Galway United securing a solid 25 points ahead of the second-placed team in the League.”
“This outstanding performance sees Galway United progress to the 2024 League of Ireland Premier Division, which is no mean feat with the level of interest, skill, and competition in soccer in Ireland today.”
“Galway is very proud of your achievements, and I’m delighted to have the opportunity to acknowledge and celebrate your win, on behalf of Galway City Council.”
Mayor Hoare closed the event by wishing the team the best in the Premier League in 2024.
