Northern Ireland women will host Greece in two friendlies as they prepare for the 2027 Nations League.

Michael McArdle's side will welcome the Greeks to Inver Park on Frday, 27 November [19:00 GMT] and Tuesday, 1 December [16:00].

Both sides' hopes of reaching next year's World Cup in Brazil came to an end in October's first qualifying round with Northern Ireland beaten by Portugal, while Greece were eliminated by England.

Northern Ireland reached that stage thanks to a third-place finishing in Group B2 of the Nations League, while Greece topped Group C4 to seal promotion to League B.

Both will be in the hat for Tuesday's 2027 Nations League draw which takes place in Nyon, Switzerland and are in the same pot three alongside Albania and Hungary.
