Playr-Fit, a team wear and sportswear manufacturer, have confirmed that they will initiate legal proceedings with Dundalk FC due to an unpaid debt of €130,000.
Playr-fit have reached out to LOITalk with a statement saying they have initiated legal action against Dundalk FC in regard to unpaid Debts. The statement reads as follows:
Playr-Fit confirms that we have initiated legal proceedings and taken a writ against Dundalk FC in respect of an unpaid debt of €130,000.
The licence granted to Dundalk FC for the 2025 season was issued on the basis of an agreement to repay this debt over a specified timeframe. However, the club has reneged on that agreement and failed to make any payments whatsoever in the 12 months since.
This ongoing non-payment places serious doubt over the club’s eligibility for a Premier Division licence for the upcoming season. As the FAI has itself stated, “our licensing system places necessary importance on the protection of creditors to ensure that clubs settle their liabilities promptly, to ensure better cost controls and to encourage clubs to operate on the basis of their own revenues.”
We believe that upholding these principles is vital for the integrity, fairness, and sustainability of Irish football and local jobs.
