WU17 | Squad picked for double header with Portugal

The Ireland Women's Under-17s will take on Portugal in two International Friendlies in Lisbon.

Head Coach James Scott gets to use the two games as part of the squad's preparation for their UEFA WU17 European Championship qualifiers in November.

The Girls in Green beat Northern Ireland 3-1 in Belfast last week and will aim to build some momentum from that as their 2024-25 season gets going.

There are call-ups for Arsenal duo Sophia Leonard and Lauren Bowe as well as Finley Newell and Fiona McCormick who both play in the United States.

Goalkeepers: Laura Fanning (Shamrock Rovers), Jenna Willoughby (Shelbourne)
