The winners of the 35th Football Association of Ireland (FAI) International Awards have been confirmed following an event in the Aviva Stadium.

Robbie Brady completed a double by claiming the Senior Men’s International Player of the Year and International Goal of the Year awards – a feat that the Dubliner also achieved in 2016.

Kyra Carusa won the Senior Women’s International Player of the Year following her first ever nomination and on the back of recently breaking into double figures in goals scored for the Women’s National Team.

MNT midfielder Finn Azaz and WNT defender Jessie Stapleton picked up the Young Player of the Year awards, while Cork native Matt Healy was named as the Men’s Under-21 Player of the Year.

Former MNT player Denis Irwin, who was capped 56 times and featured in the 1994 FIFA World Cup, was inducted into the FAI Hall of Fame alongside WNT record goalscorer Olivia O’Toole.

The recipient of the Special Merit Award was broadcaster George Hamilton. A diligent and passionate commentator, he has been synonymous with providing colour and analysis to the biggest games in Irish football over the course of four decades.

A jury from Soccer Writers’ Ireland helped with the selection of certain categories to help honour those who excelled over the previous year.
