Kirkwood re-elected in Northern Ireland

Kirkwood said he was "honoured and privileged" to remain in post for what promises to be another big year for Northern Irish football. Having successfully bid to co-host UEFA EURO 2028, Northern Ireland is ready to welcome the UEFA Under-19 European Championship in less than a month.

"I am honoured and privileged to be elected to serve in a fourth year as president," Kirkwood said. "I look forward to promoting the work of the Irish FA at home and abroad for another year."

The Irish FA Council also re-elected Neil Jardine and Colin McKendry as first deputy president and second deputy president respectively.
