Templeogue United Foundations Academy

Templeogue United FC is proud to announce a landmark partnership with ex-professional footballer Richie Towell, who will play an active role in our academy restructure, Templeogue United Foundations Academy.

From September 2025, our Academy will introduce a new structure designed to provide every player with a clear pathway, from first kicks to senior football — what we call “Football for Life.”

By investing in the right structures, resources, and leadership, we are creating an environment where every player — recreational or elite — can thrive.

At Templeogue United, we believe football should be a journey — not just a game. Our new Academy Restructure, led by Richie Towell, is designed to give every player the opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive, whatever their ambitions. From the first time a child pulls on a jersey to competing at senior level, our pathway is built to support them every step of the way

As part of this restructure, Richie Towell will oversee a number of academy initiatitives:

• Lead Coaching of Year 2 & Year 3 Academy Players
• Deliver Dedicated Sessions for U8–U12 Players
• Help Build our Player Pathway
• Mentor Coaches Across the Age Groups
• Identify & Nurture Top Talent

Richie's experience as a coach and player will benefit the club in many ways:
