THE WINNERS OF the 35th FAI International Awards have been confirmed — and honoured at an event in the Aviva Stadium.
Robbie Brady and Kyra Carusa were the big winners, crowned Senior Men's and Women's International Player of the Year respectively. Both players were presented with their awards in camp this week, with announcements made on the FAI social media channels.
Brady also claimed the International Goal of the Year award (v Finland), repeating his 2016 double.
Finn Azaz and Jessie Stapleton won the Young Player of the Year awards, while Cork's Matt Healy took the Men's Under-21 prize.
Irish legends Denise Irwin and Olivia O'Toole were inducted into the FAI Hall of Fame.
