Reports from FAI HQ, Abbotstown
IRELAND HEAD COACH Carla Ward has named her squad for the upcoming 2025 Uefa Nations League double-header against Greece.
Shelbourne’s Aoibheann Clancy has been called up, while Saoirse Noonan and Chloe Mustaki return.
Noonan’s comeback is a headline one: the Celtic striker has been in superb goalscoring form but hasn’t been included in an Ireland squad since 2023. Mustaki was also last involved then, and has impressed for Bristol City in the Championship since returning from injury.
Clancy, who was previously capped by Vera Pauw in November 2022, is rewarded for her stunning start to the Women’s Premier Division season. The Limerick 21-year-old is among two domestic players in this squad alongside Ruesha Littlejohn, who recently moved to Shamrock Rovers.

Unattached duo Grace Moloney and Marissa Sheva also get the nod, while Izzy Atkinson and Melisa Filis are among those to drop out.
Megan Connolly is unavailable for selection, joining Louise Quinn (hip), Tara O’Hanlon (MCL), Jamie Finn, Lily Agg and Jess Ziu (ACL) on the injury list.
Ireland travel to Crete for the first game next Friday, 4 April, before hosting the return tie at Tallaght Stadium the following Monday, 7 April.
The Girls In Green opened their Nations League campaign — and Ward’s reign — with a scrappy 1-0 win over Türkiye and a chastening 4-0 defeat to Slovenia last month.
