Earlier in the season, Cork City FC launched a third jersey in support of LGBTQ+ youth services. The jersey features a rainbow design and aims to raise at least €5,000 for Belong To. Kieran O’Donovan remarked on the importance of visibility in sports: “visibility saves lives. Seeing the iconic Cork City FC colors side-by-side with the pride flag sends a powerful message to LGBTQ+ young people that they belong – not just in the stands, but in the heart of the sporting community.”
Cork City will face UCD next, with a three-point lead at stake. The defeat may affect their position in the league as they strive to maintain their standing.
