Northern Ireland National Football Team

The Northern Ireland national football team represents Northern Ireland in international football. In such events, the individual countries of the United Kingdom compete separately, but do not participate in the Olympic Games. Before 1921, all of Ireland was represented by a single side, the Ireland national football team, organised by the Irish Football Association (IFA). Since 1921, the IFA is the organising body for the Northern Ireland team (although for some time it continued to use the name "Ireland"), while the Football Association of Ireland (FAI) organises the separate Republic of Ireland national football team.
