"The FAI - the governing body of the sport in the Republic of Ireland - said on Wednesday it will commence a 'restructure' in 'the coming days' starting with the introduction of a voluntary redundancy programme. 'Once completed, the association will then assess progress against its long-term vision and move forward with a phase of redeployment before confirming the number of compulsory redundancies required,' the association added."
"The FAI said the move is to help 'accelerate internal culture change, introduce specialised skill sets and deliver increased financial stability'. The FAI explained the decision has been shaped by extensive research including 'Uefa benchmarking' and 'external guidance from specialist consultancy firms'. 'The findings make it clear that the association does not currently have the required framework and specific skill sets to implement vital strategies, including the FAI Football Pathways Plan,"
The Football Association of Ireland will begin a restructure by launching a voluntary redundancy programme in the coming days. The association will assess progress, pursue redeployment, and then confirm any required compulsory redundancies. The programme aims to accelerate internal culture change, introduce specialised skill sets, and deliver increased financial stability. The decision draws on UEFA benchmarking and external consultancy guidance. Findings indicate the association lacks the framework and skills to implement strategies including the FAI Football Pathways Plan and meet evolving needs across all levels. The process is intended to protect national team performance, local football, clubs, communities and development pathways.
