Finn Harps win first ever LOI Down Syndrome Futsal Cup
Finn Harps have won the first ever League of Ireland Down Syndrome Futsal Cup in Meath after a very exciting final with Dundalk who played brilliantly too.
All eight teams played really well throughout the day and it was a really enjoyable day for all the players and their families.
This fantastic new initiative was the start of a collaboration between the FAI Football For All programme and the League of Ireland via the Club’s Football and Social Responsibility (FSR) Officers and will provide players with Down Syndrome countrywide with an opportunity to line out for their local League of Ireland clubs.
Several League of Ireland clubs have so far jumped at the opportunity to support players with Down Syndrome and form new teams and the following clubs will took part in the Down Syndrome Futsal Cup: Dundalk FC, Shelbourne FC, Cork City FC, Finn Harps FC, Wexford FC, Bohemian FC and Sligo Rovers FC.
