FAI Chief Executive Jonathan Hill has left his position.
The association has confirmed the news this morning, with an interim CEO set to be appointed in due course.
Hill has been in the role since 2020.
The news comes in a week when the association was also expected to announce the new manager of the senior men's national team.
In a statement released by the FAI this morning, Hill said:
"Since 2020, the FAI team and the wider football community have embraced what has been a radical transformation process for the Association and I'm proud of what has been achieved. We have developed a new, dynamic senior leadership team, a clear strategic vision, a bold plan to address football's wider infrastructure needs and a stable and growing financial platform for further and sustainable growth.
"A notable step forward was the 2021 Equal Pay agreement which has been a vital catalyst for the rapid rise of the Women's senior national team over this period, culminating in a historic first World Cup appearance in Australia in 2023: Our successful bids to host EURO 2028 and the UEFA Europa League Final next month are testament to the progress delivered by the FAI staff and their incredible commitment and hard work. I firmly believe that the future is bright for Irish football."
