The Ireland Women’s National Team is calling on fans to go all in against cancer this Daffodil Day, Friday, March 28th.

Ahead of their UEFA Nations League win over Türkiye at Tallaght Stadium, the players showed their support for the Irish Cancer Society’s Daffodil Day by taking time out to interact with cancer survivor and football fan Tommy Grant (5), who was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) in 2021.
 
WNT captain Katie McCabe said: "We’re delighted as a squad and group of players to lend our support to the Irish Cancer Society ahead of Daffodil Day which takes place Friday, 28th March.

"We know that there isn’t a family that hasn’t been touched by cancer in Ireland – we’ve even experienced this as a group of players in our dressing room. For those who are impacted by a cancer diagnosis, the Irish Cancer Society is there through their range of free supports and services so that nobody has to face cancer on their own. 

"We’re asking the public to get behind Daffodil and go all in to show your support on Friday, the 28th of March.”  
 
Averil Power, CEO of the Irish Cancer Society, said: “We are incredibly proud to partner with the Ireland Women’s National Team and want to sincerely thank the team for their support in raising awareness of cancer this Daffodil Day.

“No matter what cancer brings, the Irish Cancer Society is here to help. Daffodil Day, for us, is about hope. It’s about raising vital funds so that cancer patients have the support they need, when they need it most. But we can only do that with the public’s help. All our essential services, like free night nursing, counselling, and our transport service, are fueled by the public’s support on Daffodil Day. We’re urging communities across Ireland to get involved and go all in this Daffodil Day and help us to do more.” 

Daffodil Day takes place on Friday, March 28th. Whether you want to get involved with your school, company, or in your community, there are lots of ways to go all in and support cancer patients across Ireland. Visit cancer.ie to get involved or learn more.
