Updated Information for Clubs in Northern Ireland

The NCFFI requested further advice relating to restrictions around 15 persons ‘gathering for a common purpose’ and Sport NI have provided further clarification that will enable clubs in Northern Ireland to run larger outdoor events providing they are organised in stages.

The Department has confirmed;

“It is permissible to hold outdoor events that are organised in stages, provided there are no more than 15 people present for each session of the event. This could be achieved by event organisers working in timed slots, and putting in place measures to ensure more than 15 people are not gathering before or after the events. All relevant public health guidance should be followed.”
