The Republic of Ireland have been drawn with Turkey, Slovenia and Greece in Group B2 of the Women's Nations League.
It will bring a first ever senior meeting with the Turks, while Ireland have previously overcome Slovenia in home and away qualifiers for the 2015 World Cup.
Ireland WNT have met Greece seven times at senior level, winning four and drawing three times.
The last meeting came in a Euro 2022 qualifier in 2020, which Ireland won 1-0. The away qualifier in that campaign was drawn 1-1.
The league stage of the Nations League will determine which four teams progress to the Nations finals (played as two-legged ties) and also promotion and relegation between the leagues ahead of the European Qualifiers phase for the 2027 FIFA Women's World Cup in Brazil.
The four League A group winners will contest the UEFA Nations League finals.
Automatic promotion and relegation will see the group winners of Leagues B and C promoted, while the fourth-placed teams of Leagues A and B, as well as the two lowest-ranked third-placed teams of League B (27 to 28 in the overall league rankings), are relegated.
Promotion and relegation matches, played on a home-and-away basis, will be disputed by the third-placed teams of League A and the League B runners-up for a position in League A, while the two best-ranked third-placed teams of League B, ranked 25 to 26 in the overall league rankings, will play the two best-ranked League C runners-up, ranked 39 to 40 in the overall league rankings, for a position in League B.
No meetings.
