The new Louth GAA stadium in Dundalk will be known as The Edward Goodman Park.

It comes after Louth GAA announced that The Goodman Foundation has agreed to become the naming rights holder for the 14,000-capacity venue, which is due to open next year.

Edward Goodman was a member of the Dundalk Young Irelands team that represented Louth in the first All-Ireland SFC final of 1887. The Goodman Foundation also intends to partner with Louth GAA to provide a Sensory Room in the new stadium which will be constructed during Phase 2 of the project.

Speaking on the new naming rights deal, Louth GAA chairman Sean McClean said: "Louth GAA has had a long association with the Goodman organisation, and we are delighted that this partnership is going to continue at our new stadium through the involvement of The Goodman Foundation."

A spokesman for The Goodman Foundation added: "The purpose of the Goodman Foundation is to support community initiatives and the new home for Louth GAA is something that everybody in the county and beyond will be able to enjoy as it will be a fitting venue for sporting and community events."
