NIYFA

🏆 The 2026 Associations Cup

📅 Tournament Dates: June 19–21, 2026

⚽ This prestigious tournament brings together representative teams from Scotland, the Isle of Man, Northern Ireland, and the Republic of Ireland.

📍 This edition of the tournament will also be hosted by the SFAI Ireland at the University of Limerick (UL Sport Grounds), a sporting environment that combines elite facilities with on-site accommodation.

⚽ The grassroots competition is organised by Euro-Sportring International Tournaments in partnership with the National Associations. Four boys’ teams will compete for their honours, while four girls’ teams will take part in the second edition of the girls’ competition.

Participation in the Associations Cup represents a significant milestone for young players and ranks among the most important achievements at this stage of their development. While each match contributes to player growth and results naturally generate excitement, the lasting value of the tournament lies in the overall experience, the friendships formed, and the enjoyment shared.

We extend our sincere appreciation to the team management, administrative staff, parents, and guardians for their continued dedication and support.

Special thanks are also due to Tony Ryan and the referees, whose efforts ensure fairness throughout the competition. All participants and supporters are reminded to treat match officials with respect at all times.

This is a memorable occasion for all involved.
Embrace the challenge, learn from the experience, and, above all, enjoy the weekend.
