The Northern Ireland Under 16 team will play two games against Finland. The teams meet at Comber on Wednesday 10 September, kick off 5.00 pm, and two days later Knockbreda FC is the venue, kick off 11.30 am.
Northern Ireland Manager Stephen Robinson is looking forward to his young side taking on top class opponents. “Games against Finland have always been very close at this level. This is just the start of an extensive programme of international matches for the boys. Directly after the games against Finland the team travels to Poland for two games. It will be a good experience for our boys to pit their skills against the best Continental teams. This is just the sort of test that we need before embarking on the Victory Shield campaign against Scotland in October. These games will give everyone a chance to stake a claim for their place in the squad for the games in the Sky Sports Victory Shield”.
The Northern Ireland Schools’ Football Association is offering free entrance to any school or youth group wishing to attend the games against Finland.
Any group wishing to gain free entrance should send their details by email to Edwin Ferris, NISFA Treasurer, at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. to obtain a group permit.
