Northern Ireland will allow just over 1,000 fans into Windsor Park for next week’s Euro 2020 qualifying play-off final against Slovakia, the Irish Football Association has announced.

The tickets for Thursday night’s crunch fixture will be allocated via a ballot which members have already been invited to enter, with those successful to be notified that they will be part of the 1,060 attendance at the start of next week.
