"Dates of training will follow once the numbers for teams are filled.
"Anyone interested pm us and we will move from there, look forward to hearing from yous.
"Home of the Champs. @ConorMcGregor @LiamFlynn."
McGregor has previous experience in amateur football following his spells for Slieveamon United and Yellowstone Celtic in the United Churches League and Leinster Football League, respectively, before becoming an MMA superstar.
The recently retired UFC fighter says he's a bit "bored" of the game only six months after his sensational comeback.

"I'm a bit bored of the game," he told Ariel Helwani.
"I'm here watching the fight. I watched the last show - the [Tyron-Woodley-Gilbert Burns] show - I watched the show tonight. I'm just not excited about the game, Ariel. I don't know if it's no crowd. I don't know what it is. There's just no buzz for me.
"I had my goals, my plans, the season. I had everything laid out. Obviously the world has gone bleeding bonkers at the minute. There's f**k all happening at the minute. They want to throw me up and down weights and offer me stupid fights. I don't really give a f**k. I'm over it."
