The FAI was the first national sporting body to appoint someone with a specific responsibility for Interculturalism. The changing demographics in Ireland have given us a unique opportunity to support inclusion and reach out to new members of our community through the medium of our global game. The plan seeks to examine how best, in the context of a more diverse Irish society, to encourage increase
d participation in football among people from minority ethnic and cultural backgrounds, whilst also challenging and preventing the spread of racism within the game and thereby contribute towards a more intercultural and integrated society.
