Mayo GAA Football manager Kevin McStay and his backroom team has named their team for Round 2 of the Allianz National Football League Division 1 game against Galway this Sunday 2nd February at 2:30pm in Hastings Insurance MacHale Park.

There have been 51 League meetings between the counties, with only Kerry having clashed more often with Mayo. 25 of these games have been played at Galway venues, with Mayo enjoying home advantage on 23 occasions, with the 2001 and 2023 Finals, and the 2007 Semi-Final being played in Croke Park. Tuam (Parkmore & Tuam Stadium) and Castlebar have been by far the most popular venue for meetings, with 19 and 17 games respectively being played at these venues. 5 games have been played in Galway, 3 in Ballina, 2 in Ballinrobe, with 1 game played in Ballinasloe and Charlestown.
