Northern Ireland World Cup Squad

The Northern Ireland squad has almost been finalised. The 6th Team player has still to be confirmed.

Derry's Martinog Bradley and Lawrence Watson will also play in the Individual Open. They both have previous World Cup experience at Rome 2022 and have been strengthening their game travelling to various UK Events with Derry TFC.

Ballyclare's Kenny Beggs and Bangor's Eoin Adams will play in the Veteran Individual. Both have played in two World Cups - Kenny in England 2002 & Belgium 2005; Eoin in Germany 2006 & Rome 2022. They have also represented Northern Ireland in UK & Ireland Internationals.

Ian Greer from Cookstown, is reserve for the Veteran Individual. This will be his first World Cup. Ian played a lot in the 1970s and returned to the game a few years ago, joining Derry TFC. He has done well to earn his place on the team through his NI Ranking. Also hopes to play in the 'Old Subbuteo' Event.
