The 2026 National Pathways Programme (NPP) kicked off this week at the FAI National Training Centre 🙌

Following a successful pilot in 2025, the NPP now becomes an annual part of Ireland Football's player development pathway, reinforcing the Association's long-term commitment to identifying, developing and supporting the country's future international players ☘️

Set up as a three-day residential camp for high-potential boys and girls in Under-15 and Under-16 age categories, players will benefit from tailored coaching and experience a high-performance environment.

Six years ago, Luis Enrique's daughter Xana tragically passed away aged nine after a battle with cancer. 💔

Tonight, he's just won PSG their first ever Champions League and become the second ever manager to win the treble with two different clubs. 👏

No one deserves it more than Luis Enrique, Xana would be proud. ❤️
