The FAI plans to ask UEFA to change stadium rules on match days so that soccer fans can enjoy alcoholic beverages during games, the Sunday Independent has learned.
Currently, football fans attending international matches at the Aviva are allowed to drink in premium level bars, but not in the general admission areas used by the majority of supporters.
A lifting of the ban would bring soccer in line with rugby, where fans are allowed to drink during games at the stadium.
The news of the FAI's plan comes in the same week that the CEO of the FAI John Delaney, IRFU chief executive Philip Browne and GAA director-general Páraic Duffy appeared in front of an Oireachtas Committee to argue against banning alcohol sponsorship in sport.
