Ireland women's football World Cup playoff campaign

Overview

The Republic of Ireland women’s national football team entered their World Cup playoff semi-final against Kazakhstan facing several personnel challenges. Head coach Carla Ward announced a 25-player squad that lacked key players Katie McCabe and Marissa Sheva due to suspension, while Denise O’Sullivan was omitted from the away leg to manage her workload and injury recovery.

Despite these absences, Ireland secured a decisive victory in the playoff. The team demonstrated significant depth, with seven different players scoring goals during the match. This win places Ireland in a position to advance to the World Cup playoff final as they seek qualification for the 2027 tournament in Brazil.
