Northern Ireland National Football Team
The Northern Ireland national football team represents Northern Ireland in international association football. From 1882 to 1920, all of Ireland was represented by a single side, the Ireland national football team (1882–1950), Ireland national football team, organised by the Irish Football Association (IFA).

The Football Association of Ireland (FAI) organises the separate Republic of Ireland national football team. Although part of the United Kingdom, Northern Ireland has always had a representative side that plays in major professional tournaments – whether alongside the rest of Ireland pre-1922 or as its own entity – though not in the Olympic Games, as the International Olympic Committee (IOC) has alway ...

The club eventually moved into Broadhall Way in 1980 as a result of the council re-purchasing the stadium, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
