2024 Season Review
We play so many games in a season it’s ridiculous. This year we played 67 in total!
Our first game next season will be against Shakhtar Donetsk in the Europa League Knockout Round.
I can’t wait for the day when we actually get a favourable draw…
It’s been a strange season for Sligo with not making the Champions League group stage and also with the amount of new signings at the club. Ignacio Lagos and Milorad Sveljo are 2 players that look like they’ll have some big clubs calling soon.
As I mentioned a while back, I’ve also added a manager of Dundalk and Cobh Ramblers and it’s fair to say the experiment has worked!
Dundalk had their best season for a long while whereas Cobh managed to stay up. It will be interesting to see how both fare next season and whether Cobh will be strong enough to challenge for a European place.
Irish Football Summary – 2024
National Team Ranking: 61st (was 62nd in 2023)
Nation Coefficient Ranking: 19th (was 26th in 2023)
Airtricity Premier League Players in Ireland Squad: 4
Irish Teams in Europe:
Dundalk and Cork: Europa League Group Stage
Shamrock Rovers: Europa 1st Round

With Ireland, we drew 3 games but won our Nations League group. I have no idea if that’s good or bad.
To be honest I am only concerned about the 2026 World Cup and we’ll have to beat Austria and/or Denmark to get there.
Man United have produced wonderkid Brian Miles who I need to give a debut to soon as he is also eligible for England.
Hopefully this time next year we’ll have qualified for a World Cup and got to a Europa League quarter-final at least! The next post will be the 2025 season preview including details of the games against Shakhtar.
