Every nationality ever to play in the League of Ireland. The complete A-Z.

I have attempted to list every nationality that has been represented in the League of Ireland. It is a small football league in the grand scheme of things but you might be surprised to know that people from every corner of the globe have graced our pitches. There are 100+ countries here. Let me know if you recognise any of the names or if any nations represented shock you!

Nationality refers to the FIFA affiliation of the player and some of them may hold dual citizenship. I’ll include wikipedia links to the players if you want to have a look at them too. Enjoy.
