A meeting of the National Football Stadium Community Forum has been held as part of a process to renew the terms of reference and functions of the group.
The gathering was chaired by the Irish Football Association’s Chief Operating Officer, Graham Fitzgerald, and was well attended by representatives from community and residents’ organisations, the Amalgamation of Official Northern Ireland Supporters’ Clubs, Linfield FC, Olympia Leisure Centre, Belfast City Council and other statutory bodies.
At the meeting Fitzgerald said: “Facilitating the National Football Stadium Community Forum is part of the Irish FA’s commitment to be a socially responsible, good neighbour to everyone living and working in the area around the stadium.”
And the association’s Chief Operating Officer added: “The National Football Stadium, including the Education and Heritage Centre and other facilities, is an asset for the community and we look forward to engaging with all local representatives and partners to ensure we address any issues and maximise the benefits of the stadium for all.”
