The Olympic Federation of Ireland (OFI), in partnership with Flogas, is proud to announce the launch of the Flogas Performance Programme. Thanks to the generous donation of €75,000 in funding from the successful Flogas Dual Fuel tariff to the Make a Difference Fund, athletes and coaches can now apply for this additional financial support as they prepare for competition at the highest levels in 2025.

The programme marks the beginning of the LA28 Olympic cycle, building on the success of the 2024 season and laying the groundwork for sustained excellence leading into the 2026 Winter Olympics and the 2028 Summer Games. Recognising that strong performances in 2025, 2026 and 2027 are critical to achieving success at the Olympics, this fund is aimed at supporting the development of athletes and coaches every year along the journey.
