Flancare Park is a soccer stadium in Longford, Ireland. It is the home stadium of League of Ireland side Longford Town F.C.. Flancare Park has also held numerous international underage matches. The stadium underwent a huge redevelopment at the end of 2000/2001 season. Previous to this Flancare Park, while containing a good pitch and floodlights, had small dressing rooms, showers and toilet facilities, along with two terraced (one uncovered) and a single-seater stand. It is located in the townland of Mullolagher on the Strokestown Road (N5) to the west of Longford town.
The promotion of Longford Town to the Premier Division was seen as a catalyst in the redevelopment of Flancare to its present-day form. Through the receipt of government and FAI grant aid, Flancare park has been redeveloped into an all-seater stadium. The stadium holds 6,850.
