International football is back tomorrow! Which means we’ve roped in Republic of Ireland defender Aoife Mannion to tell us all about her Ireland journey after debuting for the Girls in Green two years ago this month.

Aoife opens up about overcoming setbacks throughout her career - after suffering two ACL injuries - and reveals what it’s like to play with an underdog mentality in the Ireland squad.

Elsewhere, Aoife shares how deflating it was to fall short of Euro 2025 and lose Eileen Gleeson and Colin Healy soon after. Plus, she explains what new challenges are ahead with the exciting arrival of Carla Ward. Come join us!
