PFA Ireland

Many thanks to John Martin, Shane Robinson, Craig Sexton, Niall O'Regan and David O'Connor for facilitating.

Following some highly engaging discussions and interesting insights from all parties, we are looking forward to further developing our relationship with the FAI to help prepare players for opportunities within the game as the industry grows.

Over 40 players attended in-person and online today for our discussion with the @faiofficial.bsky.social around Coach Development pathways for professional players.

Players wishing to attend this discussion around FAI Coach Development should contact their club delegate or john@pfai.ie for the registration link.

PFA Ireland conducted a survey of League of Ireland players regarding the Ireland Men’s National Team’s scheduled UEFA Nations League fixtures against Israel later this year.

A majority of respondents expressed the view that the fixtures should not be fulfilled.
