Historic Partnership launched Between Coláiste Chiaráin and St St. Joseph's Football Club.
Today the school and SJFC launched the development of a shared soccer facility which will benefit both our school and the club.

Coláiste Chiaráin and St. Joseph's Football Club are delighted to announce that planning permission has been granted for the development of a state-of-the-art full-size 3G all-weather soccer pitch, marking a transformative moment for education and community sport in Athlone West. Roscommon County Council issued final planning approval on 16 June 2026 for floodlighting, ball retention fencing, and associated infrastructure

This landmark agreement represents the most significant development in the 25-year history of St. Joseph's F.C. and a major enhancement to the sporting facilities at Coláiste Chiaráin. The partnership, supported by a long-term lease of lands from the Diocese, will create a shared sporting facility serving students, club members, local primary schools, and the wider community for generations to come.

Under the partnership agreement, Coláiste Chiaráin will have full access to the 3G pitch during school hours for curricular and extracurricular activities, while St. Joseph's F.C. will utilise the facility for training and matches during after-school hours, evenings, weekends, and school holidays. This innovative shared-use model maximises the benefit of the investment and ensures year-round access to a world-class sporting facility.

Launch of Major Fundraising Campaign

To support the development of the 3G pitch, both organisations have launched a joint fundraising campaign offering the public an extraordinary opportunity to win a Mercedes-Benz GLA 180d Progressive Line Plus – a 2-litre diesel automatic finished in Polar White with luxurious Beige Leather interior.
Campaign Details:
Tickets: €50 each
Draw Date: 19 December 2026
Purchase Online: www.tinyurl.com/CCAwinacar.

All proceeds from the fundraiser will go directly towards the construction of the much-needed 3G soccer pitch, which will benefit thousands of young people across the Athlone area.
Meeting Community Need
St. Joseph's F.C., which serves nearly 500 young players and operates 28 teams across multiple age groups, currently lacks a home facility and incurs substantial rental costs across four separate training locations. The new pitch will provide the club with a permanent base and a central hub for youth development, while also offering Coláiste Chiaráin students daily access to premium all-weather sporting infrastructure.
The facility will also be available to support local primary schools and community initiatives, addressing a critical shortage of modern sporting facilities in the region.
