Breaking: Finn Harps approach Sean MacCumhaills for use of MacCumhaill Park
With redevelopment works taking place at Finn Park under new owner Freddy Gonzalez, Finn Harps have turned to their neighbours on the possibility of the use of their facilities
Finn Harps have approached Sean MacCumhaills about the possible use of MacCumhaill Park for games in their League of Ireland First Division campaign for next year.
DonegalLive understands that the League of Ireland side have approached their neighbouring GAA Club for use of the ground for one night per fortnight from March to November as redevelopment works will be ongoing at Finn Park.
Members of the Twin-Towns GAA Club will be consulted on the approach, and a meeting will be held to discuss views.
Following the takeover of Finn Harps by Filipino entrepreneur and former professional footballer Freddy Gonzalez, who was voted in last week by Finn Harps Co-Operative Society members, the new owner stated that the pitch at Finn Park is to be resurfaced.
The League of Ireland First Division season will begin in the middle of February, while Donegal begin their 2027 National Football League Division 1 campaign in January with a trip to Mayo up first.
Donegal have four home games in Division 1, but it is believed that O’Donnell Park and Fr Tierney Park will also be likely to host some of their league games, as done in previous years.
In 2026, recently crowned FAI Cup winners Derry City played five games away from the Brandywell Stadium during redevelopments, as they played at their neighbouring Celtic Park, home of Derry GAA.
