Northern Ireland's midfielder, Megan Bell, has expressed delight at the inclusion of uncapped Linfield striker Cora Chambers in the squad for the 2027 World Cup qualifiers against Malta. The match will take place on 14 April at Mourneview Park in Belfast. New manager Michael McArdle will take over for the first time, following a period of difficult results for Northern Ireland. The team has been beaten by Turkey and Switzerland in their first two qualifiers, with Ireland also losing both games.
