Every two years we send a team of footballers to the Transplant World Cup. The team is a mixed gender team made up of footballers who have had a solid organ or stem cell transplant.

The competition is a weeklong event showcasing the power of organ donation through the beautiful game. The football team train regularly and compete across Ireland and Great Britain.

A maximum squad of 16 is selected to represent Northern Ireland at the World Cup. Full details are provided in the membership hub.
