🔴 Recently in the news following a harrowing experience involving an e-scooter, Cliftonville FC were very pleased to help put a smile back on Dre Hunte's face by giving him and his family some VIP treatment at Solitude.

All-Ireland Champions 🏆🇮🇪
A sensational 7–2 victory to crown the U14s All-Ireland Champions.
That makes five trophies this season for a truly outstanding group of players and staff.
An incredible achievement and a season to remember.

Local players, local families, hard work over years, and a genuine pathway into the first team. That has to remain a huge part of this club’s identity going forward. 🔴⚪️
✍️ Cliftonville FC are delighted to announce that Academy stars Paul Stanfield, Alfie Anderson, David Green and Sean Cassidy have all signed two-year deals with the Reds.

Love this day every year, although it’s always emotional.
Every player and member of staff involved in our Full-Time Academy has a special place at Cliftonville FC and genuinely means something to me personally. ❤️
A brilliant day celebrating our Full-Time Academy players and staff.
A lot of hard work and memories behind every award handed out today.
For some, the journey continues. For others, a new chapter begins. Good luck to them all.

To see two different Under 18 squads from within our full-time academy environment go on to win both the NIFL and National League titles is a brilliant achievement for everyone involved.
Proud of the coaches driving the academy forward.
National League Champions tonight.
Combined with our NIFL title winners, both U18 leagues have now been won by players from our full-time academy.
Outstanding achievement.

Cup Finals.
Too many games turned into battles, not football.
Surfaces and environments didn’t allow players to show their quality and not good enough for the best teams in the country.
If we’re serious about development, standards have to rise—across facilities, coaching and contact hours.
Results are short term. Development is everything and lots of work to do.

Culture is something the academy has a massive focus on, and delighted to see it run through the club. It isn’t something you talk about, it’s something you see. And today at Solitude, you could feel it everywhere.
People, community, and a club that stands for more than football.
This is exactly what the club are building through the Cliftonville Community Outreach programme. ❤️
🏃♀️ Huge thanks to everyone who played their part in what was quite literally a marathon effort at Solitude today - and don't forget to come back and join us when tomorrow's Community Fun Day kicks off at 1pm!
