THE REPUBLIC of Ireland Women's team World Cup qualifier against Finland in September has been sold out.
Vera Pauw's side are on the verge of reaching the first major tournament in their history, and a lie a point ahead of their Group A rivals. The World Cup will be jointly hosted by New Zealand and Australia in 2023.
Both teams have two more games to play with a place in the play-offs up for grabs.
Victory against Finland will secure second place behind already qualified Sweden, who topped the group.

According to stats the current record attendance is 5,238 – when Ireland beat Ukraine in Vera Pauw's first game at the helm back in October 2019.
“I think it’ll be easy to fill the stadium,” said Pauw, speaking at RTE’s launch of their Women’s Euros coverage.
“It will be massive. The fans always give us an extra push in those difficult moments. We expect those moments to be there against Finland. Let’s fill the stadium and get everyone behind us to push us over the finish line.”
Five days after the Finland game, Ireland will travel to Slovakia for their final game of the campaign.
