Katie McCabe, the captain of the Ireland women's national football team, recently returned to her childhood football club, Kilnamanagh, to spend time with young players. She visited the Under-9s team and led them through a shooting drill, sharing her skills and experience. The visit was very special because Kilnamanagh is where McCabe first started playing football. The young players were excited to meet her, and she encouraged them to work hard and enjoy the game. After the session, she took photos with the kids and signed autographs, making the day unforgettable for them.
McCabe’s visit happened just before she joined the Ireland national squad for their UEFA Nations League matches against Greece. She is an important player for Ireland and always looks for ways to inspire the next generation of footballers. Her journey from Kilnamanagh to the highest level of women’s football shows that with hard work and dedication, young players can achieve their dreams. By returning to her roots, she reminded everyone of the importance of community and giving back to those who supported her early in her caree
