These are the players we’re asking you to turn up and cheer for on October 8.
Vera Pauw has named the women’s senior soccer squad that will line out against the Ukraine on October 8. The 23 players are the first squad assembled by the newly-appointed manager, and the list includes familiar Ireland stars such as Megan Campbell, Louise Quinn, Stephanie Roche and Katie McCabe.
Pauw is herself a former Dutch international, who was capped for her country 89 times. She began her management career with Scotland in 1998, and since then has been at the helm of the Dutch, Russian and South African national squads.
The upcoming game is the second Women’s Euro 2021 qualifying game for Ireland, who beat Montenegro in their opening match earlier this month.
With a new manager and a strong opposition on the cards, it’s a big game for the girls in green – and one that deserves a big crowd!
Her is proud to support the call from 20×20 and the FAI to get a record attendance at the match, which kicks off at 7.30pm at Tallaght Stadium on Tuesday 8th. Round up your friends, get your green on, and help make history!
