The Connacht GAA Council has confirmed that Sunday's Connacht Senior Football Championship final between Roscommon and Galway is officially a sellout.
Up to 22,000 supporters will be in King and Moffatt Dr. Hyde Park for the big game after the last few tickets were snapped up earlier on Saturday.
The huge interest in the match will mean that the home of Roscommon GAA is set to host its biggest game in years, surpassing the 2018 attendance at the venue when there were capacity restrictions in place.
In recent years, games between Dublin and Mayo, and Donegal and Mayo have brought huge crowds to the Hyde, but Sunday's provincial final is set to be the biggest yet, meaning a bumper weekend for local businesses.
Galway will be going for five Connacht titles in succession, while the Rossies will be hoping to win their first senior provincial football title on home soil in 25 years.
