The Football For All Programme is an initiative of the Football Association of Ireland in conjunction with the ‘Local and Community Development section of The Department of the Environment’ and the National Dairy Council. The aim of the programme is to assist local football clubs to become more inclusive to children aged 6 – 14 years of any ability in Cork. This initiative is also supported locally by the Cork Sports Partnership.

This programme now has 25 clubs nationwide to ensure the inclusion of children of all abilities in the football community in Ireland, guaranteeing that all children regardless of ability will in the future have the same opportunity to play football for their local club. Existing clubs cater for children with a variety of disabilities such as dyspraxia, autism and physical, intellectual and sensory disabilities. As well as regular training, children in football for all clubs get a chance to play for their local club in regular blitzes against other teams both regionally and nationally!
