Coach Development FAI’s new Coach Development pathway signals a need for an integrated learning platform that handles course hosting, learner progression, and credentialing. This creates opportunities for LMS deployment, certification management, and analytics to demonstrate program impact for sponsors and partners.

CRM Sponsorship Although FAI already uses Salesforce, there is potential to deepen member lifecycle management across players, coaches, officials and volunteers, and to strengthen sponsorship sales with marketing automation, targeted communications, and event-driven analytics tied to competitions and awards.

Esports Engagement With the WYLDE partnership and the launch of the eLeague of Ireland, there is demand for digital platform integrations for esports or fan engagement, streaming, ticketing, and sponsor analytics to monetize digital ecosystems.

HR Transformation Recent workforce changes including voluntary redundancy plans suggest opportunities in HR analytics, change management, DEI training, and employee experience tools to support modernization while maintaining engagement and compliance.

Security & Cloud FAI’s tech stack includes security and cloud services such as Cloudflare, reCAPTCHA, SES, Snowplow, and Salesforce. This presents a chance to offer enhanced cybersecurity, data protection, privacy compliance, and cloud cost optimization to improve reliability for fans, clubs and officials.
