About Me

The Republic of Ireland national football team is the national football team of the Republic of Ireland and is governed by the Football Association of Ireland (FAI). The FAI were founded on June 1 1921, as the Football Association of the Irish Free State. The first international game involving the Irish team took place in Turin, Italy in in March 1926. Though they had been involved in international competition since the 1930's, the team did not qualify for any international tournaments until Euro 88 in Germany. That was followed by reaching the quarter-finals of the 1990 World Cup. The Irish also reached the second round in the 1994 and 2002 World Cups.
