#MoreThanFootball Action Weeks 2024 Highlights of the Third Week

Another week of the More Than Football Action Weeks has passed! Last week, League of Ireland hosted “More Than Football” Football & Social Responsibility Conference, which was attended by all Football & Social Responsibility Officers from Irish Football League. Furthermore, we celebrated two action days: International Day for Sport for Development and Peace and World Health Day. We are happy to see different posts, initiatives showcased by the clubs on their social media accounts.

Don’t forget to work together with other organisations by tagging them and raising awareness and funds for your social projects! Below a few examples of those who participated so far can be found.
