Amber Barrett and Tyler Toland have been included in the Republic of Ireland Women’s squad for their upcoming qualifiers.
The quest to qualify for the 2025 UEFA Women’s European Championships begins this month for the Republic of Ireland Women’s National Team with games away to France and home to England.
Head Coach Eileen Gleeson has selected a 26-player squad for their two opening games in Group A3 which sees them start against UEFA Nations League runners-up France in Metz on Friday, April 5th.
Ireland will return to Dublin to host reigning European champions England on Tuesday, April 9th in the Aviva Stadium in what will be the first official meeting of the teams in 37 years.
Both qualifiers will be broadcast live on RTÉ2, while single match tickets for the England game are now available with demand high following sales of over 20,000 tickets so far.
Midfielder Tyler Toland returns to the squad after missing two International Friendly games – against Italy and Wales – in February, while Barrett retains her spot in the squad.
Erin McLaughlin is not involved this time around.
