We will remember them. Earlier this week, the Irish FA held its annual Act of Remembrance at the Clearer Twist National Stadium at Windsor Park. Led by Irish FA President Colin McKendry and chaplain Pastor Richard Donnan, the service brought together Council, Board and staff members, alongside representatives of the @AoNISC_Travel, whose Chairman Gary McAllister laid a wreath on behalf of @NorthernIreland supporters 💚🤍

As we observe today's two-minute silence at 11am, we remember those who served and sacrificed their lives, including members of our football family who never returned from conflict. 🔗 irishfa.com/news/2026/novemb…

The final match also marked a special milestone for manager Harry McConkey, who celebrated his 50th game in charge in the competition! 👏 A huge thank you to Modern Tyres, EXI-TITE and TeamFeePay, who came on board as sponsors for the campaign. Their support helps provide opportunities for local players to represent Northern Ireland on the European stage. irishfa.com/news/2026/octobe…

From two ACL injuries to penalty shootout hero! 🧤 After enduring two devastating knee injuries and spending much of her young career on the sidelines, Ellie Scott enjoyed a moment to remember as her penalty save helped @GlentoranWomen_ lift the Irish FA Women's Challenge Cup 🏆 A special moment and a fitting reward for her determination to get back doing what she loves👏 #TogetherWeThrive
