FAI Schools can confirm that the National Finals will be hosted in the spectacular surrounds of the Aviva Stadium on Wednesday, June 11, so sign up now for your chance to go all the way and create a day to remember for your School and its students.
This magnificent competition is for children in 4th, 5th and 6th class and it all begins at your local County level. The events are a fantastic opportunity for girls and boys to participate in a fun filled one day blitz.
There are six sections (3 for boys and 3 for girls) to cater for all school sizes so whether your school falls into the small, medium or large category there is a competition to cater for you. Your ‘section’ will depend on your school enrolment numbers for boys/girls in 4th, 5th and 6th class as to whether you are in small, medium or large schools section. There is also a section for Football for All (Special Schools).
