GU16s line up two Friendly games with Cymru

The Ireland Girls' Under-16s will host Cymru in two International Friendly games in the FAI National Training Centre.

Head Coach Tom Elmes and his staff will use the international camp to assess 32 players as they shape plans for the new season and upcoming fixtures.
 
The 2023-24 squad finished as runners-up in the UEFA Development Tournament and many of those players have graduated to the WU17s. Elmes will be hoping for similar success stories with this new group of players.
 
Included in this squad is Treaty United midfielder Madison McGuane who was recently in action for the WU17s in two friendly games against Portugal.
