A day in the life in the National Pathways Programme ☘️
138 girls across the 2011 and 2012 age groups took part in three-day residential camps held over eight weeks this summer at the FAI National Training Centre, Abbotstown, with specialist coaching, player education and individual feedback supporting their development.
The programme connects grassroots football, League of Ireland clubs and our international teams, giving players access to a high-quality development environment at different stages of their pathway.
A number of 2012 players have already progressed into the WU15 international environment, including the August window in Croatia, where Ireland faced Croatia, Ukraine and Slovakia 🇮🇪

Leo Messi has just scored these 2 goals in the span of 4 minutes at the age of 39.
I swear I'm genuinely out of words. I don't know what to say.

I should repost this article I did for @TheAthleticFC .
I first met Diego when he worked in a shop in Dublin in 2014. He wanted to become a football manager.
Now? His team @InstitutoACC are top of the group A in Argentina, five pts clear of Boca. nytimes.com/athletic/3117908…

🎙️ Jordi Alba contando sobre o dia em que Messi levantou a camisa contra o Real Madrid em 2017:
"Poucos conhecem a história do porquê de Messi ter levantado a camisa após marcar o gol. Estávamos jogando contra o Real Madrid. Durante a partida, houve cânticos e insultos contra Messi. Chegaram a chamá-lo de deficiente e anão. Messi não gostou disso.
Mesmo no vestiário, ele se irritou e disse para Suárez: 'Essas pessoas não pertencem ao futebol', e continuaram fazendo isso no segundo tempo. Quando Messi marcou o gol da vitória, ele foi até eles e levantou a camisa. Ele silenciou a todos e disse: 'Lembrem-se do meu nome.'".
