Republic of Ireland women's football players

About

Hello! My name is Dan. I used to run a website called Women's Football Archive.

This is my new project while I am at home in lockdown: a detailed list of every woman to play soccer for Ireland. I want to recognise and respect these amazing Irish sportspeople, who all-too-often get overlooked.

The list is still in development and is a bit rough and ready. Hopefully, it will be a useful resource or at least a starting point for further research.

If any sports journalists in Ireland are currently stuck for something to write about – you might find some story ideas (or potential interviewees) here.

I would love to receive any help, further info, suggestions or corrections. Please comment on the site or send me an email.

Thank you!
