"Northern Ireland will face Iceland in the Women's Nations
League promotion/relegation play-offs... [and] ... are hoping to
reach the top tier for the first time after finishing second to
Poland in Group B1.
Northern Ireland will host Iceland - who finished third in Group
A2 - in the first leg. The fixtures will take place in October,
with further details yet to be confirmed.
The winners of the two-legged play-offs will play in League A of
the 2027 Women's World Cup qualifiers, with the losers competing
in League B."

You might have thought of the four possible opponents, we'd have
chosen Iceland, except that their current FIFA World Ranking is
11 (NI's is 44), while the other possible opponents were Denmark
(12), Austria (18) and Belgium (20), who drew ROI (26).
