WU16 | Double header next up against Portugal

Nov 10 2026

The Ireland Women’s Under-16s will complete the year with two International Friendlies away to Portugal.

It is a new-look squad, with just four players remaining from the group that competed in the UEFA Development Tournament in Finland in May 2026.

There are first international call-ups for Galway United goalkeeper Annie McKeon, Shamrock Rovers defender Aoife Doherty, Shelbourne’s Alba Hennessey Martinez, US-based Averie Seymour and Treaty United forward Honor Mulvihill.

There is a strong contingent from the League of Ireland Academy system with seven different clubs represented from 19 of the 20 players in the squad.

Reynolds could become the first player from Mayo FC to make a competitive appearance for Ireland following on from helping the Ireland Schools Girls’ Under-15s retain the SAFIB Bob Docherty Cup in March 2026.
