The 1920s was a time of significant growth in Irish soccer, and for 3 years Football Sports Weekly recorded the development of new clubs, new leagues and new competitions. It provided a platform for fans and players alike to discuss the game, its future direction and current concerns. It gave Irish soccer a critical, informed voice, and strived to look beyond Ireland and Britain and towards the continent, to the type of football played in ‘Europe’. There was a new dynamic in Irish soccer, and Football Sports Weekly drew its energy and optimism from it. At the same time, Irish soccer found itself in a country that had recently broken away from the United Kingdom, and where soccer was seen as a British game. This paper will describe and analyse Football Sports Weekly, placing both it and soccer within the political and cultural realities of Ireland at that time
