Ireland WNT discover Group B2 opponents in UEFA Nations League

The Ireland Women’s National Team have been drawn into Group B2 in the 2025 UEFA Women’s Nations League, where they will take on Türkiye, Slovenia and Greece.

Following a Draw in Nyon, Switzerland, Ireland were placed into Group B2 in League B for the games that will start in February 2025.

In Ireland’s first involvement in the Nations League in 2023, they topped Group B with six wins – two each against Northern Ireland, Hungary and Albania – which led to being promoted to League A. The aim will be to get back to that level.

WNT Head Coach Eileen Gleeson said: “We now know our opponents for the next UEFA Nations League campaign, which will help us with planning and preparation for the games. Promotion to League A is the overall aim for the upcoming Nations League campaign to ensure we compete at the highest level and maximise opportunities to qualify for major tournaments. 

“For now, our focus remains on the UEFA EURO 2025 Qualifying Play-Off against Cymru with two huge games away in Cardiff on November 29th and home in Aviva Stadium on December 3rd. We look forward to seeing our fans at the Aviva on December 3rd and thank them for your continued support.”

Ireland have never played Türkiye at senior women’s level, while they last came up against Slovenia in a 2-0 win August 2014 and have met Greece on seven occasions – the last of which coming in a 1-0 win on March 2020.

Fixtures details and venues will be confirmed in due course with the Group games taking place across three international windows: February 19-26, April 2-8, May 28 – June 3.

Next up for the WNT is the EURO 2025 Qualifying Round 2 Play-Off against Cymru with the games scheduled to take place on Friday, November 29th in Cardiff City Stadium and on Tuesday, December 3rd in Aviva Stadium.
