We cannot wait!

Ireland's route to the 2026 World Cup in North America has been confirmed this afternoon.

The European leg play-offs will be held in late March next year, with the semi-final on March 26 and final on March 31.

Ireland will take on Czech Republic away from home in their single-leg semi, with the victor facing the winner of Denmark and North Macedonia in the final.

More to follow.

Unfortunately, if Ireland lose their semi-final, they will have to play a friendly against one of the other losing semi-finalists.
