Ireland's Next Up is a new independant sports & culture events brand from Dublin, created to bring something new and fresh energy to Irish football while also making a real impact in the community.
Sponsors can trust us because we're commited, professional, and alraedy generating nationwide interest with qualifiers set to kick off soon across Ireland, social media growth and a Dublin final that will bring thousands together.
This project is personal to me - growing up in Dublin I experienced a lot of hardship and homelessness with my family. Charities such as Focus Ireland assisted my family in times of need and that drives me to build something that creates opportunities and gives back.
Right now, the focus is on delivering an unforgettable tournament this November and again in May 2026. Longer term, we plan to expand into developing opportunities for young football taleny with agencies and launching social initiatives that directly support vulnerable people - with the ambition to grow into a platform that can make a real impact internationally.
