The All-Ireland senior football final locks in a 2026 date for July 25. Kerry plans to defend its crown with confidence. Mayo, still quietly chasing its first win since 1951, waits in the wings and hopes. Their 2021 clash concluded with Kerry up by three points on the board. Fresh drawn draws means another hard-fought game is projected. Both units start training drills today. Mayo’s first-choice lineup is still undecided at this stage. For nearly 80 minutes next summer, only one side walks off happy following the result.
