Dublin, Tuesday 4 November 2025 – Shelbourne Football Club is delighted to announce that the formal agreements with Dublin City Council for a 250-year lease of Tolka Park have been completed, securing the long-term home of the club for generations to come.

The agreements follow the decision of Dublin City Council in May 2024 to approve the sale of Tolka Park to Shelbourne FC by way of long lease. The signing of these agreements represents the completion of that process and marks the beginning of the next chapter in Tolka Park’s proud history.

Under the terms of the lease, Tolka will undergo a phased programme of refurbishment works designed to preserve its character while improving facilities for players, supporters and the wider community across Drumcondra and north Dublin.

The club will also continue to invest in football development and community programmes across the city, including the employment of multiple full-time Community Officers as part of the agreements.
