Irish FA Foundation and Translink join forces The Irish FA Foundation, in partnership with Translink, is providing eight ‘golden’ post primary schools with the opportunity to attend football masterclasses as schools’ football is set to return. The eight schools were the first in Northern Ireland to achieve the Gold School Quality Mark award from the Irish FA for the structures and processes they have in place for schools’ football. In previous years they competed for the coveted Translink Gold Schools’ Cup, however with normal schools’ football matches unable to be played this year due to Covid-19 the masterclasses will give pupils a much-needed return to the pitch instead.
