FAI
Cheering on the Girls in Green
On December 1st the Republic of Ireland Women’s National Team will take on Germany in a crucial qualifier for the UEFA Women’s Euros 2022. Unfortunately, we can’t be there in person to cheer on the girls’ in green but we wanted to show the team that, win or lose, we’re behind them all the way.
To do this, we enlisted the help of our Aviva Soccer Sisters from Baldoyle FC, Portmarnock FC & clubs throughout the country to send a special ‘Good Luck’ message to the team. COME ON YOU GIRLS IN GREEN!
Tonight the Republic of Ireland Women’s National Team will take on Germany for their final game on the road to the UEFA Women’s Euros 2022. We can’t all be in Tallaght to cheer on the girls’ in green, but ahead of the game we gave two of the team’s biggest fans the chance to be our virtual mascots & meet their heroes. Check out how Peigí and Séimí got on!

Aviva Soccer Sisters
Aviva Soccer Sisters Easter Football festival is for girls aged between 6-14. This year, the programme was revamped and free camps were offered over the Easter period. Over 7,000 girls from clubs around the country took part.
Aviva worked with the FAI to help to double the amount of spaces available nationwide. This year's festival format incorporated "Come and Try" camps, and Football blitzes with the emphasis on the non-competitive element of football.
The programme culminates in a 'Dream Camp' which is held in Aviva Stadium in May each year. Participants are given the chance to play on Ireland's greatest football pitch, and get a full behind the scenes experience.
To find out more about Aviva Soccer Sisters and how to sign up for one of the Easter Football Festivals, log on to www.soccersisters.ie or check out #SafeToDream to follow along on social media.
