WNT squad continue support for Breast Cancer Awareness

WNT squad continue support for Breast Cancer Awareness

The Ireland Women's National Team have given their support to Breast Cancer Awareness.

This is the fourth successive year that the WNT squad have used their profile to help make Breast Cancer Awareness more widely discussed as one in seven Irish women will be diagnosed with it in their lifetime.

There are 3,700 new cases diagnosed each year with 23% of women between the ages of 20-50 years affected. So it is vital that more women become aware of the eight signs and symptoms of Breast Cancer.

As part of Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October, the WNT squad wore Breast Cancer Awareness t-shirts at a Media Day in FAI HQ as part of their preparation for two UEFA EURO 2025 Qualifying Play-Off games against Georgia.

Ireland WNT captain Katie McCabe said: "It is so important that women learn all about the eight signs and symptoms of breast cancer. This is something that affects families all around the country, so we would encourage women to take the time to be aware of what to watch out for.

"As a squad - along with our support staff - we want to do what we can do to raise more awareness because survival rates are increasing due to early detection, so the more women who know about it, the more women are not affected by it.

"We would like to encourage all women, from the age of 20 upwards, to lvisit www.breastcancerireland.com for more information."
