Katie McCabe is edging ever closer to becoming the first player to lead the Republic of Ireland Women’s National Team out at a major tournament.

Not only is it a first major tournament for the Girls in Green, it’s the World Cup no less. And not only will it be their opening game of the group stage, it will be the opening game in Australia, against the co-hosts in front of a sold-out crowd of over 80,000 at Olympic stadium in Sydney.
