https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/56753276 I hope you have a look at this link about the Northern Ireland Ladies match against the Ukraine on the 13th April in the UEFA Women's UEFA champs, qualifying. (I HOPE IT WORKS). The national sides are fondly known as; Green and White Army or sometimes, Norn Iron. They have also played Belarus (1-0. 3-2), Faroe Islands (6-0. 5-2), as well as the Ukraine 2-1, 2-0) with a series of victories apart from a thumping by England (0-6) in November in a friendly.
The NIWFA was founded in 1977 and affiliated to UEFA in 1998.
LOOK FOR the red card foul! and a few other moments.
Their first international was against England in Bath in September 1973, a 1-5 defeat. Julia Nelson from Crusader Strikers, at 35, has played 109 times for her country and scored 7 goals. Ashley Hutton 33, has won 106 caps with 8 goals plays with Linfield. Linfield (badge below) were formed in 1886 with players who worked in the Linfield Spinning Mill.
Other players in the squad play with Durham (England) who play at the university ground, Maiden Castle. They also come from Sion Swifts from Tyrone, the club formed in 2010 and the Crusader Strikers from Belfast, founded in 1992. Also Glentoran supply players, from Belfast, one of the most successful teams play at "Their" Oval, (f.1987). Cliftonville will rate as one of the more well known clubs too, founded in 1879, although the Ladies came in to the club more recently.
A goal celebration v Faroe Islands.
