EVA Mangan’s great form for Cork City this season has earned her a spot in Eileen Gleeson’s Euro 2025 squad for Ireland’s double header with Sweden on May 31 and June 4.
The 19-year-old midfielder is the only new face in the Irish panel as they try to rebuild their Euro prospects following back-to-back defeats to France and England in their two opening games.
Both Niamh Fahey and Heather Payne are unavailable for the Sweden games due to Achilles injuries, while Chloe Mustaki, Tara O’Hanlon and Jamie Finn are continuing their recovery from long-term injuries.
The Girls in Green host the Swedes at the Aviva Stadium on Friday May 31 (7.30pm) before visiting Stockholm for the corresponding fixture in Group A3 the following Tuesday.
Gleeson’s squad will begin preparations for the qualifiers at the FAI National Training Centre from May 27.
