Ireland men's senior team manager Mick McCarthy and assistant coach Terry Connor joined FAI Vice President Noel Fitzroy helped with the presentations as six different teams were honoured for their service over the past five years.

Amongst the teams being recognised were the Irish Homeless World Cup squad who secured the Plate in 2016, the Cerebral Palsy side won clinched bronze at the 2018 IFCPF European Championships, and the Blind players who competed in a first ever official international tournament.
