Statement from Glentoran FC
We fully understand that some of our supporters may have concerns arising from the recent BBC report on DCAL funding of football stadia in Northern Ireland.
It would not be helpful for our club to respond directly to this report at this time nor to become publicly involved in what is essentially a matter for our politicians and for the IFA. However, we can reassure the broad Glentoran family that the Board continues to actively pursue its objective of securing a new stadium for Glentoran in East Belfast, thereby ensuring the club’s long-term future and success.
