IFA Premiership 2008–09

The IFA Premiership 2008-09 is the first season after a major overhaul of the league system in Northern Ireland. It was scheduled to begin on 9 August 2008. However, the start of the league was postponed for a week due to a referees' strike. [ [http://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/sport/football/local/all-matches-off-as-referees-strike-13934396.html All matches off as referees strike] Belfast Telegraph] [ [http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/irish/7551320.stm IFA reach agreement with referees] BBC Sport] The last games will be in May 2009. Linfield are the defending champions.

The league has been reduced from sixteen to twelve teams due to a competition restructuration by the Irish FA.

Clubs and venues

Team changes from last season

Five of last season's sixteen Premier League teams failed to gain a place in the new twelve-team Premiership, and one new team - Bangor - gained entry from the IFA Intermediate League.

Of the five teams who missed out, three - Armagh City, Larne and Limavady United failed to obtain the necessary domestic licence. Portadown obtained a licence, but was controversially excluded because a club official missed a deadline for submitting an application form by several minutes. Finally, Donegal Celtic obtained a licence, but was ranked thirteenth in the entry list, and thus missed out by one place.
