About our Republic of Ireland National Football Team news

Latest news on Republic of Ireland national football team, providing comprehensive coverage of fixtures, results, players, manager changes, World Cup and Euro qualifiers, and international friendlies.

The Republic of Ireland national football team, nicknamed "The Boys in Green", represents Ireland in men's international football. Governed by the Football Association of Ireland (FAI), the team has competed in three FIFA World Cups (1990, 1994, 2002) and three UEFA European Championships (1988, 2012, 2016). Currently ranked 62nd in the FIFA World Rankings, Ireland are rebuilding under new manager Heimir Hallgrímsson after failing to qualify for Euro 2024.

Recent developments include the appointment of Hallgrímsson as head coach in September 2024, following Stephen Kenny's departure. The team faces a challenging UEFA Nations League B campaign in 2024, drawn alongside England, Finland, and Greece. Key players to watch include goalkeeper Caoimhín Kelleher, defender Nathan Collins, and young striker Evan Ferguson, who are expected to form the core of the team moving forward.

Off the pitch, the FAI continues to focus on youth development and improving facilities nationwide. The Aviva Stadium in Dublin remains the team's home ground, hosting competitive matches and high-profile friendlies. Fan support remains strong, with the Green Army known for their passionate backing both home and away.

Ireland's football history includes memorable moments like defeating England at Euro '88, reaching the World Cup quarter-finals in 1990, and famous wins over Germany and Italy. However, recent years have seen struggles in qualification campaigns, leading to a period of transition and rebuilding for the national team.

Stay up-to-date with all the latest Republic of Ireland football news through our comprehensive NewsNow feed. From team selections and match reports to transfer rumors involving Irish players abroad, we provide round-the-clock coverage of everything related to the Boys in Green. Whether it's World Cup qualifiers, European Championship campaigns, or international friendlies, our feed ensures you won't miss any developments concerning the Irish national team.
