The Changemakers experience, in partnership with the FAI and The Game Plan, is driving meaningful change across Irish football. 🙌
Focused on equity and leadership development, the programme brings together women from every part of the game to support, inspire and empower one another on their personal and football journeys.
Changemakers brings together women from clubs, leagues, affiliates, committees, referees and LOI club boards, contributing to increased representation and a growing number of women on our General Assembly. Together, they are shaping a stronger, more inclusive future for Irish football. 👏☘️

Join us Tuesday, December 2nd at 8pm for a practical conversation on coaching athletes with disabilities. This session will show how inclusion isn’t a huge overhaul - it’s what great coaches already do every day: adapt to the person in front of them.
Our panel will share simple, effective coaching adjustments, athlete-centred approaches, and real examples of how small changes can open big opportunities. We’ll highlight the brilliant work happening across Irish sport and how coaches can better support para-athletes in their own clubs and pathways.
Featuring:
•Treacy Percy (VIP Hub, Laois LSP)
• Cliona Horan & Alan Dineen (Paralympics Ireland)
• Mark Barry (Irish Wheelchair Association/National Rehab Hospital)
• Ciaran Murphy (Sport Ireland)
