The Republic of Ireland have been drawn to face Israel in their group of League B in the Uefa Nations League. Ireland has been drawn in group three, alongside Israel, Austria, and Kosovo. Last November, the FAI’s general assembly voted 74-7 in favour of a motion to UEFA calling for the “immediate suspension” of the Israel Football Association from European club and international competitions. However, on the same day the motion passed, FAI president Paul Cooke said Ireland would fulfil any fixture with Israel if drawn against them in a Uefa-sanctioned competition. Ireland were in a tough group the last time they were in the Nations League, containing England, Greece, and Finland. They won 4-2 over two legs against Bulgaria to maintain their League B status. The six fixtures will take place between September and November in 2026, with the winner of the group qualifying for a play-off spot for Euro 2028.
