The Republic of Ireland players gathered at the Aviva Stadium for a training session ahead of their upcoming Euro 2025 qualifier against England. Despite being considered underdogs, Manager Eileen Gleeson expressed confidence in her team’s ability to provide a tough challenge for England on Tuesday night.
In their previous match, Ireland suffered a 1-0 defeat to France while England secured a 1-1 draw against Sweden. As the lowest ranked team in Group A3, Ireland faces a tough test against defending champions England. Gleeson acknowledged the level of the opposition but highlighted the importance of staying focused and using their own strengths to their advantage.
Captain Katie McCabe downplayed any historical rivalry between the two sides, emphasizing that their focus is solely on qualifying for the Euro finals for the first time. The upcoming match against England at the Aviva Stadium presents a significant opportunity for Ireland to showcase their capabilities in front of a large crowd. With key players like Jess Ziu unavailable due to injury, the team is ready to adapt and give their best effort on the field.
