NI women to play remaining home games at Mourneview

Football

Northern Ireland women will play their final two 2027 World Cup qualifying home matches at Mourneview Park in Lurgan.

The Irish Football Association has confirmed that Mourneview Park will host the final home fixtures for the Northern Ireland women's national team in their 2027 World Cup qualifying campaign. The Lurgan venue, which serves as the home ground for Glenavon, replaces Windsor Park for these specific fixtures. This decision follows a strategy to bring the international side to different regional venues across the country.

Northern Ireland currently compete in Group B3 of the qualifying phase. Their next scheduled home match at the 4,160-capacity stadium will take place against Malta on 4 April. The final home game of the group stages, a fixture against Bosnia and Herzegovina, is set for 14 July at the same location. Per the Irish FA, tickets for both matches are expected to go on sale to the general public in the coming weeks. Manager Tanya Oxtoby's side previously utilised the National Football Stadium at Windsor Park for their opening home qualifiers during this international cycle.
