Derry City

Derry City played their home games at Maginn Park from the beginning of the 2017 season, due to renovation works at the Brandywell Stadium, Derry, Northern Ireland.[2][3] The first League of Ireland match at the ground, against Limerick in March 2017, was abandoned after 25 minutes due to floodlight failure and torrential rain.[4] The final match in October 2017 was a 1-1 draw against St. Patrick’s Athletic.
