With the world cup not far off now, the feeling around Belfast is a disappointment after they come so close to qualifying for the 2022 world cup only to miss out by a few points. Many football fans had placed bets on Northern Ireland to reach the tournament after they have got a good squad of players. Many football fans had placed bets using betting sites, not on gamstop and you can find some more here that football fans will be using during the world cup.
The next world cup
Northern Ireland will be sure to be preparing for the next world cup which will be in 2026 so they have plenty of time to make the changes to the squad that they need to, to ensure that they qualify for this one and do not miss out on it again. We can expect the team to be changed around due to some of the players looking set to retire soon after being at the end of their careers.
Some exciting young players have come out of Northern Ireland and there are a few that are yet to be called up to international duty so these players will be ones to keep an eye on in the future to see if they can help improve the squad and ensure that they qualify for the next world cup.
This year’s world cup is not far off now with December not being that far away and the qualifying nations are starting to meet up now that the football season has come to an end. The Northern Ireland squad will be sure to be training hard and looking to get some friendly games organised to ensure that they are always fit and ready for the next up and coming international tournaments.
Residents of Belfast are always optimistic about their national squad due to there not being that many players to choose from for international duty due to the country being quite small compared to some of the other larger nations. Northern Ireland in the past few years has seen a good selection of younger players coming through their academy which is bringing excitement for residents of Belfast as they are now more hopeful of qualifying for the next world cup after only just missing out on the one that is taking place this year.
