THE REPUBLIC OF Ireland will face Northern Ireland, Hungary and Albania in the first-ever Uefa Women’s Nations League following today’s draw.
Vera Pauw’s side, who will compete in the Women’s World Cup this summer, have been drawn into Group B1 in League B in the inaugural edition of the tournament which will take place later in 2023.
The teams in League A will be competing for a spot in the 2024 Olympics, while Ireland and the other League B nations will be seeking promotion to the top tier as either a group winner or as a runner-up via a play-off.
Match details will be confirmed in due course, with Ireland preparing to play their home ties at Tallaght Stadium.
