EA Sports FC is one of the titles Team Ireland is contesting on the road to the Esports Nations Cup (ENC) 2026 in Riyadh, contested across Ireland Esports Leagues' Collegiate and Company Series.
EA Sports FC is contested across two Ireland Esports Leagues series: the Ireland Esports Collegiate Series, the official esports league for university and college students on the island of Ireland since 2017, and the Ireland Esports Company Series (Office Showdown), the national corporate esports league. Teams compete through the season toward LAN finals.
We haven't identified a dedicated national community for EA FC yet. If one exists, let us know via our socials — we'd love to connect and support it, the same way we do with ICL, RL Ireland, Quantex and Valorant Éire.
Separately, the Football Association of Ireland (FAI) runs eLOI (eLeague of Ireland), Ireland's official national EA Sports FC competition, featuring representatives from League of Ireland football clubs.
Launched in 2021, eLOI runs its own international pathway — including the eChampions League and FC Pro World Championship — distinct from the Esports Nations Cup structure.
EA Sports FC is one of the ENC's 16 titles at the inaugural Riyadh event in November 2026 (confirm exact dates at publish). Selection for EA's titles at the ENC runs through EA's own qualifiers or direct invitation, distinct from the National Team Partner pathway most other titles use. Ireland's campaign is led by National Team Manager Ronan Monaghan.
Ireland's EA FC campaign is still to be played — the individual(s) representing Ireland haven't been determined yet.

Who manages Team Ireland's EA FC entry?
Team Ireland is led by National Team Manager Ronan Monaghan.
Team Ireland represents players from across the island at the Esports Nations Cup (ENC), the biennial, nation-based competition organised by the Esports Foundation (EF, formerly the Esports World Cup Foundation) and held in Riyadh in November 2026. Team Ireland is led by National Team Manager (NTM) Ronan Monaghan.
Ronan Monaghan also serves as Operations Lead for Ireland Esports Leagues (IEL); his role as National Team Manager is a separate national-team appointment. Ireland Esports Leagues develops the competitive pathway — across its Schools Series, Collegiate Series and Company Series — that helps Irish talent reach the international stage. Ireland Esports Leagues supports
Team Ireland's journey but does not select or govern the national team, which is the responsibility of the National Team Manager.
