Welcome to the Dublin Live Events Section,
 part of the Dublin Uncovered guide to Dublin, Ireland.

Welcome to the Dublin Soccer Section, in which we include information on soccer/football teams in and around the city, as well as information on the international side. The Dublin Football clubs below mostly play in the Eircom Premier League, at present Shels and Bohs are probably the top teams in the league. The clubs are made up mostly of Irish players although there have been a lot more foreign players in recent years, especailly from cross-channel. The quality of the league is also on the increase, with the introduction of an under 21 league and of the number of young players coming back from the UK, who have gained great experience through international underage teams under Brian Kerr.
