The Football Association of Ireland is proud to continue its collaboration with Libraries Ireland and Monaghan County Libraries by launching an engaging UEFA EURO 2024 Activity Book, aimed at inspiring young football enthusiasts across Ireland.

This initiative aims to foster a love for football while promoting literacy and learning through interactive activities. The UEFA EURO 2024 Activity Book, designed in collaboration with Monaghan County Libraries, combines the excitement of the European Championships with educational content tailored for children. 

With puzzles, quizzes, and fun facts about football and European culture, the activity book promises to captivate young minds and encourage learning in a dynamic and enjoyable way.

FAI Grassroots Director, Ger McDermott, said: "We're thrilled yet again to team up with Libraries Ireland and in particular, Monaghan County Libraries to introduce this Euro 2024 Activity Book. Football has a unique ability to bring people together, and through this initiative, we aim to inspire young fans while promoting literacy and learning. This partnership with the Monaghan County Libraries represents our commitment to engaging with young readers nationwide in a fun and meaningful way, combining their passion for football with valuable educational content."

FAI Schools and Third Level Programme Coordinator Colin Clerkin said: ‘’The launch of this EURO 2024 Activity Book aligns with the upcoming UEFA European Championships, offering children the perfect opportunity to immerse themselves in the excitement of the tournament while honing their literacy skills. This continued partnership with Monaghan County Libraries reflects the FAI's commitment to reach communities nationwide and promote both football and literacy as essential pillars of childhood development.
