Cancer Fund for Children is the official charity partner of the Irish Football Association, supporting children, young people and families impacted by cancer.
The charity provides specialist emotional and therapeutic support at home, in the community and in hospital, alongside therapeutic short breaks at Daisy Lodge in Newcastle, Co. Down. Its vision is that no child should have to face cancer alone.
The Irish FA and Cancer Fund for Children celebrated 10 years of partnership in 2026, marking a decade of fundraising, raising awareness and creating special experiences for children, young people and their families.
During that time, the Irish FA family and the Green and White Army have helped raise more than £176,000, while families supported by the charity have been welcomed to Northern Ireland internationals and enjoyed special opportunities including matchday and mascot experiences.
