Wales Women will welcome Northern Ireland to Cardiff City Stadium on Thursday 6 April (KO 19:15) for an international challenge match.

The match will be part of both teams preparations for the new UEFA Nations League campaign that will get underway in September 2023. Northern Ireland last took on Wales in the UEFA Women’s EURO 2022 qualifying campaign, with the sides drawing on both occasions and culminated eventually in Northern Ireland securing an historic debut qualification at the tournament’s finals.

IFA Director of Women’s Football, Angela Platt, told irishfa.com: “This is a good test for the team against high quality opposition as we begin preparations for our next qualifying campaign. I know the players will be raring to go and really looking forward to this opportunity.

“The recruitment process has started for our new senior women’s manager for what will be an exciting new phase for the team.

“In addition, a lot of work is taking place behind the scenes to ensure we continue to build on our recent success. We are enlisting additional staff to work on our girl’s international pathway, furthering the work in our strategic plan around women and girls’ football and working hard to upskill more women who want to work off the pitch in administrative roles in football.”

Tickets for the match are on sale now on the FAW ticketing website (£8 adults, £6 senior citizens 65+, £4 juniors 16 and under). Discounted Red Wall priority and group bookings for clubs, schools and fan groups (£6 adults, £4 senior citizens, £2 juniors) are also available until 12:00 Friday 17 March.
