The FAI have confirmed that all 19 League of Ireland clubs have been awarded licenses ahead of the 2022 season.
All five Dublin clubs have been awarded Premier Division licenses, while Bray Wanderers are one of five sides awarded a First Division license.
Four clubs - Athlone Town, Galway United, Longford Town and Waterford - will compete in the second tier but have been deemed up-to-scratch for the Premier Division.
The awarded of licenses means that all 19 clubs have met the FAI’s licensing criteria and are set to go for the league kick-off in a little over two weeks’ time.
“Following the work undertaken by the independent committee, the FAI can confirm the following clubs have been awarded licences for the SSE Airtricity League of Ireland Season,” read an FAI statement.
