FAI Hosts Inspiring Pre-Match Celebration Honouring Special Olympics Ireland Football Team’s Triumph

The Football Association of Ireland (FAI) brought together a heart-warming Pre-Match Celebration last night in the Green Room of the Aviva Stadium, ahead of the Republic of Ireland vs. Greece match. What was the occasion? A tribute to the skill, determination, and extraordinary achievements of a truly inspiring team.

This special team was none other than Ireland’s Special Olympics Football Team, who proudly brought home Gold from last year’s Special Olympics World Games in Berlin. In honor of their remarkable success, the team received the prestigious distinction of being awarded their International Caps—a coveted recognition reserved for those who have represented Ireland on the international stage.
