Northern Ireland’s Uefa Women’s Nations League promotion/relegation play-off first leg with Iceland will take place at the Ballymena Showgrounds on Friday, 24 October (kick-off TBC).
Tanya Oxtoby’s team will then travel to Laugardalsvöllur Stadium in Reykjavík for the second leg on Tuesday, with the winner securing a place in League A for the European Qualifiers for the 2027 Women’s World Cup.
Northern Ireland finished second in League B’s Group One behind Poland to secure a playoff, with their only defeats in the group coming against the table-toppers who won automatic promotion.
Iceland, who featured in the 2025 Women’s European Championships, finished second bottom of Group A2 with four draws from six games. Their only defeats came to group winners France as they finished above the bottom placed Switzerland who were automatically relegated.
The teams have not met since the 2020 Pinatar Cup in Spain when Iceland won 1-0 to maintain their perfect record against Northern Ireland.
