Enjoy the action! Aleksander Čeferin UEFA President Welcome message from the Irish FA President On behalf of the Irish Football Association it gives me great pleasure to welcome the players, officials and supporters of Chelsea FC and Villarreal CF to the National Football Stadium at Windsor Park in Belfast for UEFA Super Cup 2021. As an association we are proud to host this year’s edition of the major European football showpiece which sees the winners of the UEFA Champions League take on the UEFA Europa League Champions. Northern Ireland as a whole is looking forward to this encounter between two high- calibre European club teams. Football is of huge importance in our country. In the true spirit of ‘Equal Game’, it brings a diverse range of people and communities together like no other sport, so it is great that we can host such an occasion. High profile European club games like this are normally the preserve of much bigger nations. I would like to thank UEFA for bringing the match to Belfast. Hosting this fixture confirms that, like us, UEFA believes the National Football Stadium is a compact world class venue capable of staging high profile international and club matches. It is a huge honour! I should also like to thank the dedicated staff in both UEFA and the Irish FA for their hard work in helping to make this a special occasion for everyone. This game is taking place at the ground which is home to the Northern Ireland national team and Linfield FC. Games were first played on this site in 1905. The venue has undergone several improvements since then and in 2016 a major redevelopment was completed. The £38m investment, supported by government, has transformed the venue into a top- class arena. It has been the stage for many unforgettable matches and moments down the years. This evening’s encounter between our visitors from England and Spain is guaranteed to join that illustrious list. Enjoy the game! Conrad Kirkwood President Irish Football Association Enjoy your visit to buzzing Belfast! Belfast is a city of buzzing culture and industrial prowess. Whether you are exploring the bars and restaurants of the Cathedral Quarter or visiting the birthplace of the world’s most famous ship, there is something for everyone in Northern Ireland’s dynamic capital city. The first port of call for many is the stunning Titanic Belfast visitor experience. Voted the World’s Leading Visitor Attraction in 2017, this shimmering landmark dominates the city’s Titanic Quarter and has become a beacon for Northern Ireland. Inside the building you will discover the story of the most famous ship in the world, the people who built her and the ship’s ill-fated journey across the Atlantic Ocean. Fine architecture is everywhere in Belfast. The grounds of Queen’s University Belfast are well worth a visit and just outside the city you’ll find the iconic Belfast Castle. And it’s also a city full of parks and open spaces. Belfast has become a food mecca and it’s impossible to walk around the city without being lured in by world class food and an array of excellent restaurants. The Cathedral Quarter was once considered Belfast’s Fleet Street and was a centre for literature and newspapers. Today it’s full of Belfast’s young and hip and those in the know out for a night of craic and fine food. It’s an upbeat cultural and nightlife zone which offers an impressive selection of cool cafés, great pubs, trendy bars and an amazing restaurant scene. And Belfast now boasts three Michelin-starred restaurants – OX, EIPIC and The Muddlers Club. Only the best of homegrown produce makes its way on to their menus. For such a small and compact city, Belfast has an amazing array of activities and attractions for you to choose from. It is one of those cities where there is a story on every street. The city centre is a great place to start when visiting Northern Ireland’s capital. It’s home to the impressive Belfast City Hall, the bustling St George’s Market and the main shopping district. Start off in the Visit Belfast Welcome Centre (opposite City Hall) to pick up information, book tours and find out everything to make the most of your visit.

I hope all our supporters are rewarded by a trip to France in 2016. Apart from being in a strong qualifying position two Northern Ireland records have been established in the tournament, the first time we have won three consecutive competitive games and the first two away consecutive wins in competitive games. The U17 men's international team had success in getting to the Elite stage of the U17 European Championship and performed admirably against Belgium and Netherlands, two of the best teams in Europe at this age. At this time last year I referred to the introduction of our Elite Development Programme and after twelve months we can now see the early benefits of this approach and in time it will produce more top players for Northern Jim Shaw Ireland and sustain success on the international President, Irish Football Association stage. Another year and how the Northern Ireland The Woman's U19 international team also reached football landscape has changed over the past the Elite stage of their European Championship twelve months on the senior international front. and we hosted the Group games in Belfast in April past.

  • The Cultural Politics of Remembrance: Sport, Place and Memory In
    The Cultural Politics of Remembrance: Sport, Place and Memory in Belfast and Berlin Alan Bairner (Loughborough University) Introduction ‘What we see isn’t what we see but who we are’ (Fernando Pessoa, The Book of Disquiet, p. 371). According to Yael Zerubavel (1994: 118), ‘ the study of the cultural interplay of “history” and “legend” reveals the transformative character of collective memory and its susceptibility to conflicting views that turn the past into a contested arena’. Nowhere is this more apparent than in societies with particularly troubled histories and nowhere are the issues contested more vigorously than in relation to the use of space for remembrance. This article examines the cultural politics surrounding the monumentalization of social space in two such cities – Belfast and Berlin. More specifically, the article considers the ways in which sporting spaces become implicated in the politics of memory, focussing above all on the proposal to build a new ‘national’ stadium for Northern Ireland alongside an International Conflict Transformation Centre on the site previously occupied by HM Prison Maze (or Long Kesh as it was known by its inmates) on the outskirts of Belfast. The article argues that, long after physical conflict is over, remembrance and the spaces used to construct and reproduce collective memory continue to be contested. 1 ‘Space and place’, according to Yi-Fu Tuan (1977: 3), ‘are basic components of the lived world; we take them for granted’. That said, space is only natural in part for, as Henri Lefebvre (1991: 77) observes, ‘social space contains a great diversity of objects, both natural and social, including the networks and pathways which facilitate the exchange of material things and information’.

Preface This paper was commissioned by the Irish Football Association, to provide a ‘baseline survey’ of the impact of its Football for All campaign, initiated in February 2000. The campaign was stimulated by some deplorably sectarian episodes at Northern Ireland international games but an important message of this research, while not in any way wishing to diminish the continuing challenge of sectarianism in the game, is the breadth and inclusiveness of the Football for All campaign—and thus its positive potential to assist all involved to lift the sport in Northern Ireland beyond its current, and recurrent, crises.
