Decision to again deny funding for youth football tournament criticised

Tourism NI has offered to meet the organisers of the Foyle Cup, the stand-in Economy Minister Deirdre Hargey has said.

Mr Durkan had asked the Minister, in a written Assembly question, whether she will "work with other Departments to secure funding for the Foyle Cup 2024". "Once all letters of offer have been finalised, a full list of successful organisations and the funding allocated to each will be published on tourismni.com/events."

“There are 730 teams competing, around 150 of which are girls’ teams,” councillor Cusack added. “There are 13,000 players, over 200,000 spectators and 14,000 bed nights, so that’s just a snapshot of what it was going to deliver tourism-wise to the city and district.”
