Ireland women's soccer team to return to competitive action in September

UEFA had already made the decision to put back the Euro finals, which will be staged in England, for a year, from 2021 to 2022.

The FAI have confirmed that the senior Irish women’s team are set to play their remaining three European Championship qualifiers this year.

Vera Pauw’s side are currently top of Group 1 but have still to play top seeds Germany home and away as well as an away game against Ukraine, the team they beat 3-2 in Tallaght in the manager’s first match in charge.
