NI to play first home World Cup qualifier at Mourneview

Northern Ireland will play their first home 2027 Women's World Cup qualifier against Turkey at Mourneview Park.

The game at the home of Irish Premiership side Glenavon will take place on Saturday, 7 March with kick-off at 19:00 GMT.

NI last played at Mourneview in June 2024, when they were beaten 2-1 by Portugal in a Euro 2025 qualifier.

The home game against Turkey comes four days after their trip to face top seeds Switzerland in their opening Group B2 game on Tuesday, 3 March.

Former Lurgan Blues manager and first team coach Kris Lindsay will take charge of NI for those first two qualifiers on an interim basis as the Irish Football Association continue their search to find Tanya Oxtoby’s permanent successor after she left the role in November to take over at Newcastle United.

Following those two games in March, Northern Ireland will face a home and away double-header against Malta in April.

They will round off the group stage of qualifying with an away game against Turkey and a home game against Switzerland in June.
