FAI Football Pathways Plan – Consultation

/in /by

As part of the FAI’s four year strategy from 2022-2025, Nurturing Football Pathways for All is one of our key strategic pillars and to this end we are embarking on a consultation process in May and June with the goal of developing a new strategy for the technical development of football in Ireland that will enhance pathways for all players to achieve their full potential.

In the coming weeks and months, our team will be engaging with all stakeholders involved in football development across Ireland to garner views and opinions that will help inform the eventual strategy. Those involved in football development are encouraged to attend their regional consultation workshop and share their thoughts and insights. We want to get as much feedback as possible and welcome players, coaches, referees, parents, volunteers, leagues, affiliates and all involved in football to be part of the conversation. Full details of the consultation workshops including dates, times and venues are included below. Please note that further online county by county consultation opportunities will be communicated at later date.

Please RSVP here for a consultation workshop that suits you. We want as many people across the game to contribute and be part of the discussion so walk in’s are also welcome to every session. Looking forward to meeting you all over the next few months, and helping shape a bright future for Irish football.
