Waterford FC lost out 1-0 to Derry City at the Aviva Stadium on Sunday afternoon

A homecoming event will be held for the Waterford FC players this evening after their FAI Cup Final defeat.

The Blues lost out 1-0 to Derry City at the Aviva Stadium on Sunday afternoon.

It was the first time that Waterford had reached Irish soccer’s showpiece event since 2004.

In honour of that achievement, a homecoming event will take place at the RSC this evening.

Waterford FC announced the event in a post on social media last night.

A club spokesperson said: “To recognise our players’ efforts and our incredible Blues supporters, we are delighted to announce we will be hosting a homecoming for the Waterford players & staff tomorrow evening at the RSC.

“In collaboration with Waterford City & County Council, we will welcome the team home at the RSC at 7pm, with gates open from 6pm at the RSC.”

“See you tomorrow, Blues,” they concluded.
