The IFA is pleased to announce that following regular and ongoing dialogue with FIFA a solution has been reached which will allow players holding an Irish Passport to continue to represent Northern Ireland.
This will negate the need in future for those with Irish Passports to require a British one for administrative purposes in order to represent Northern Ireland and to satisfy match commissioners. The administrative detail of this is being finalised with FIFA, which will take a short while, but there is agreement to the principle of the information contained in the statement. Once further details on that administtrative process are finalised they will be made public.
