Ireland vs. England football programme cover
License: All Rights Reserved.
This is the official matchday programme cover for the UEFA Nations League fixture between the Republic of Ireland and England, held in Dublin in September 2024.
Feirste, the primary typeface, is part of the Farset + Feirste type family by MuirMcNeil,
a Belfast-based type foundry. The typeface is inspired by Belfast’s distinctive tiled bilingual street signage, which displays both Irish and English translations of street names. Feirste reflects the Gaelic version of this iconic signage. IBM Plex Mono is used for the matchday details.
Cumann Peile na hÉireann, the Irish translation of The Football Association of Ireland, is featured as a tribute to historic programmes.
The football pitch design draws inspiration from ancient Celtic patterns. The centre circle is influenced by the geometric patterns found at the Ancient Irish Passage Tomb of Newgrange, while the pitch markings take inspiration from Celtic knotwork seen in the legendary Book of Kells.
