The Republic of Ireland Women’s National Team return to Tallaght Stadium this evening to host Greece in the UEFA Nations League.

A 4-0 win away to the same opponent last Friday keeps Carla Ward’s squad in the hunt for the top spot in League B, Group 2, behind leaders Slovenia.

Over 6,000 tickets have already been snapped up for this game, and fans are encouraged to secure seats to support the Girls in Green.

The game will also be broadcast live on RTÉ2 and RTÉ Player.

Ireland will be without Katie McCabe through suspension and Kyra Caruso through injury. Denise O’Sullivan will captain the side for the fourth time.

In Belfast, Northern Ireland have recalled Rachel Furness of Newcastle to their squad for the game against Romania. If selected, she could win her 96th cap.

The sides drew in Bucharest on Friday, and a win tonight will strengthen Northern Ireland’s bid for second spot behind leaders Poland in Group B1. This position could lead to a play-off to play in the top flight of the competition.
