🇮🇪 After a decade of decline, will Ireland ever qualify for the World Cup again?
The Boys In Green will watch this summer's tournament from home!
Like so many international teams right now, the Republic of Ireland are in North America for a training camp.
Heimir Hallgrimsson’s side have been in Canada all week ahead of a friendly encounter in Montreal on Friday. While Canada is preparing to host the 2026 World Cup, though, Ireland will head home before the party starts.
It’s been 24 years since The Boys in Green last appeared at a World Cup.
Between 1990 and 2002, Ireland qualified for two out of three World Cups, but the drought currently being experienced has raised concerns about the direction of the sport in the country.
Can the Republic of Ireland count on being at the 2030 World Cup or are there signs that their long absence from international football’s top table will continue?
