WNT squad finalised for Morocco game

WNT squad finalised for Morocco game

The Republic of Ireland Women's National Team will bring 26 players to Spain for an eight-day training camp that will include an International Friendly against Morocco.

Manager Vera Pauw is keen to use this camp to begin preparations for the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup, with international camps to follow in February, April and June next year ahead of the tournament.

There are first senior call-ups for Shelbourne goalkeeper Katie Keane and Peamount United midfielder Erin McLaughlin, who have impressed in recent Home-Based Training Sessions.

Dubliner Keane, who is 16 years of age, has already featured for the Ireland Women's Under-16, Under-17 and Under-19 teams in 2022. Donegal native McLaughlin - who is a former WU19 international - scored six goals in her debut season in the SSE Airtricity Women's National League.

Injuries rule out Savannah McCarthy, Megan Connolly, Ruesha Littlejohn, Ellen Molloy, Jess Ziu, Aoife Colvill and Leanne Kiernan, while Heather Payne is unavailable.

Glasgow City attacker Emily Whelan returns to the squad along with Wexford Youths midfielder Aoibheann Clancy and Shelbourne defender Jessie Stapleton, who missed the last camp due to captaining the Ireland WU19s.

The squad will link up in Marbella on Monday, November 7th to begin the training camp.
