       NI to host UEFA European Women’s Under-17 Championship in 2026

       Northern Ireland will host the UEFA European Women’s Under-17
       Championship in 2026.
       UEFA’s Executive Committee ratified the decision at a meeting in
       Limassol, Cyprus, on Tuesday.
       It will be the first time the Irish FA has staged the
       tournament, and will follow the appointments of Sweden (2024)
       and Faroe Islands (2025), while Finland will host the Euros in
       2027.
       Irish FA chief executive Patrick Nelson said: “Our track record
       of hosting key fixtures is strong. From the success of the
       Women’s U19 tournament in 2017 to bringing fans to Belfast
       during the Covid pandemic for the Super Cup in 2021, UEFA
       continue to consider us as consummate custodians of their
       flagship matches and tournaments.
       “We look forward to getting started on this exciting tournament
       soon and a big thank you to our bid team at the Irish FA for
       securing yet another opportunity for fans across the country to
       enjoy more top quality football right on their doorstep."

       And as Hosts (Hostesses?), we don't have to qualify!
