We are always looking for new players - men and women, young and old, high-level and not-so-high level. Everyone is welcome, especially if you have the right spirit - you like to train seriously and play hard, but then have great fun after the games! 

Check out our twenty-fifth anniversary celebrations in June 2014 when we were filmed by TV Brussel. This will tell you a lot about what kind of Club we are.

As was previously communicated this year's Player of the Year dinner will take place on Saturday June 17th. It is hoped that we can announce the venue and further details shortly 

2nds,champions of Div 3C, won 0-1 goal from Nick. A win that caps a great season and performance from the lads. No matter how happy we are with the season today was also the last game for a few key FC Irlande players  as Benoit, Pablo and Hans are all leaving for new adventures.See photo. We of course wish them the very best.

Vets 1 secured their future in 6A by a great 2 0 victory against Gast. Scorers were Max and Sean. Many thanks should go to David for being such a great captain in whar was a very tough season.

Ladies P1 played the last game of the season away against Miecroob Veltem, the champions of the league. Great game by the ladies in green with a victory and final result 4-5 (2-3)! Goals by Aurelie (x2), Virg, Sofie, Céline. The ladies in green are thus finishing in 4th place in the league, a great result being the first year in P1, and finishing 1st in the league in the second half of the season. Great game to finish a great season with all the amazing ladies and coaches! 

1sts couldn't finish in winning style going down 3-2 to Choule. Scorers were Alvaro and Cillian with their first goals of the season.

3rds finish in style with a 3-0 home win. With a few regulars missing we still gathered a strong squad with Tarek and Tom Confrey joining the ranks. First half was controlled by the 3rds and we went ahead with two goals from Bruno and Rodrigo. We got a third from Rodrigo after a nice combination with Bruno. The opposition pressed us throughout the last 20mins but we held in defence and François made a few key saves to keep the clean sheet. We finish on 50 points, best in years, and looking forward to next season. The champagne was sprayed on captain François for his efforts this season and we all enjoyed a swig of bubbles to celebrate a great season.

News just in the team on 3rd place won their match so we finish 4th

4ths  finished their season in style with a 3-1 victory against Goalois 2,  a decent side who beat us 0-2 in the first leg. Goals by Ross, Mihai and Jeremie. Very solid defensive performance. The only goal conceded was on a penalty.

Vets 2 went down 3 1 after taking the lead through Jacob. 

Ladies 2 played last night - no news

1sts were up against Tourinnois  who wre in the relegation zone and fought as if their lives depended on it. It made for a fiercely  contested game .It started at a frenetic pace with bith sides scoring in the first 4 minutes. Nair scoring for us with a lovely goal. It remained even until well into the 2nd half when they took the lead after some poor defending. We had the chance to equalise when we were awarded a penalty but Mika's shot was saved and it looked like we were heading for defeat but in the last few minutes Mika scored the equaliser following a good move.

2nds had the chance to get their 13th successive win but it wasn't to be as a spirited Pumas side fought hard and we were held to a goalless draw.

3rds won 1-0. In a very close match the Irish lads tried to control the game. 1st half was hard with the sun in our eyes.Best opportunities were for the opposition. We made the difference with our bench. Nicolas came on and scored a nice goal from the right wing position. 4th place definitely for us and we play our last match in 2 weeks time to try and get the 3rd position. MOTM Nicolas 8 votes followed by Francois with 6 votes. 

4ths also drew 0 0 when they couldn't get through the Lunette defence . Honours even

The 2 Vets teams had a very hard day. Vets 1 were up against Championship leaders Forestois and were soundly beaten 10 - 1. Sean scoring the consolation goal for us. Vets 2 were  up against 2nd in the table Karia and were beaten 4 0. Very few chances created against a good side who will play the top team next week to see who will be promoted . 

AGM for FC Irlande ASBL will be held on Tuesday May 16th at 7pm. More details will be forwarded in due course prior to the event.
