Conrad Kirkwood
President, Irish Football Association
Dear colleagues,
It is a privilege for the Irish Football Association to join the Football Association of Ireland in co-hosting the 10th UEFA Medical Symposium. This partnership reflects the unique ability of football to bring people together, fostering connection, collaboration and shared purpose — something particularly meaningful across our island.
Our joint hosting of this landmark event underlines the powerful role that football and medicine play in uniting diverse expertise around a common goal: protecting player welfare, advancing scientific understanding, and promoting a healthier game at every level. The theme, “Football Together for Health”, speaks directly to this collective ambition and the progress we can achieve through collaboration.
We are honoured to welcome you and hope you find the symposium both inspiring and enriching.
Sincerely,
Conrad Kirkwood
President, Irish Football Association
