What Is the Galway United Friends Co-Operative?

The Galway United Friends Co-operative, as a reference shareholder in Galway United, works in partnership with other key stakeholders to promote the success of Galway United.

To support the success of Galway United, the Co-operative aims to:

- Support key stakeholders in funding the ambitions of the club and its academy;

- Help drive growth in the club’s revenues by enhancing the home matchday experience;

- Bolster home matchday operations by providing volunteers across a range of roles;

- Embed the club within the community in the greater Galway area, Ireland and among our overseas fan community;

- Build and sustain a connection between the club’s men’s & women’s teams and our supporters through encouraging away matchday attendances.

The Co-operative offers members the opportunity to participate in the ownership of Galway United. Membership of the Galway United Friends Co-operative is open to each and any supporter who wishes to join. The Co-operative nominates two members to the Board of Galway United to represent the interests of its members.

The Co-operative is committed to promoting an ethos of inclusion and togetherness, whereby everyone associated with Galway United and indeed the wider community is impacted in a positive way by the actions of our members.
