The Professional Footballer’s Association of Ireland (PFAI) was formed in

1961 and through experience has gained the knowledge ofknowing how to look after the most important people inthe league – the players. We are the sole representativebody of professional and semi-professional footballersplaying in the FAI National League and we have the conti-nued support of the senior Republic of Ireland internatio-nal team.

The PFAI is a democratic, player driven organisation thatensures that its members are afforded the opportunity todevelop their full potential in a professional and suppor-tive environment.

The PFAI has a representative on the Dispute ResolutionChamber (DRC) which deals with disputes and appeals withthe football authorities.

The PFAI is a member of FIFPro, the World Players’ Union,and it is also a branch of SIPTU, the country’s biggesttrade union, so any problems the Association deals with onthe players’ behalf will also have the backing of these twoorganisations.

The PFAI was set-up and run as a part-time organisationup until 2002 when funding from FIFPro and office spacefrom SIPTU enabled the Association to operate a full timebasis. Since 2009 the PFAI’s current full-time staff are –Stephen McGuinness, General Secretary; Ollie Cahill, Dele-gate Liaison Officer; and Sharon Smith, Office Co-ordinator.

Ireland – Team PFAILiam Kelly is the manager for the PFAI Ireland team andhe is assisted by coach Trevor Croly. Both players, alongwith Stephen McGuinness were all team-mates at Sham-rock Rovers.

There have been 17 training sessions and IrelandTeam PFAI won both friendly games played recently –against Glebe North (4-0) and Phoenix (4-2), as well asa practice game on between the squad.
