The Irish Examiner reported that the club could not commit to a fixture against Bohemians on July 19 due to a potential fixture clash. Ringmahon Rangers previously had an initial appeal against the penalty rejected. [1]

While the FAI Cup ban was shortened, a separate three-year FAI Intermediate Cup ban was upheld against the team, the Irish Examiner reported. The club must also pay a fine of 5,000 euros, which was maintained following the arbitration process. [1]

The FAI Cup is the primary domestic association football cup competition in the Republic of Ireland. It includes clubs from both the League of Ireland Premier Division and First Division, alongside teams from regional leagues. [7]
