Donegal will take on Galway in the All-Ireland SFC semi-final on Sunday, July 14, at 4pm, at Croke Park.

The side managed by Jim McGuinness overcame Louth on a 1-23 to 0-18 scoreline on Sunday to seal their place in the last four and Galway produced a fantastic win over Dublin, 0-17 to 0-16.

The first semi-final will take place on Saturday evening at 5:30pm between Kerry and Armagh, also at GAA HQ.

Donegal have played Galway twice before in All-Ireland semi-finals, with the Tribesmen winning in 1974 and again in 1983. In 2003, Brian McEniff's side defeated Galway in an All-Ireland quarter-final replay and victories in 2009 and 2015 followed for Donegal. However, Galway hammered Donegal in the qualifiers in 2017, 4-17 to 0-14, in Sligo.
