The Irish FA is set to realize its long-cherished ambition of building a National Training Centre (NTC) in Northern Ireland, with a site announced near the Galgorm Resort in Ballymena. This facility will feature elite pitches and resources for men's, women's, and youth teams. Since 2011, IFA chief executive Patrick Nelson emphasized the importance of such a center for providing comprehensive training, sports science, and nutrition support to improve team performance and qualification for major tournaments. This long-awaited development signifies a step towards professionalizing football in Northern Ireland.
The construction of Northern Ireland's National Training Centre will finally fulfill the Irish FA's long-held ambition, ensuring elite facilities for all international football teams.
With its planned location next to Galgorm Resort & Spa, the centre aims to provide best-in-class resources for men, women, and youth teams in Northern Ireland.
