Saints' March 2026 international guide

Republic of Ireland duo Ryan Manning and Finn Azaz travel to Czech Republic in the semi-final of World Cup qualifying, vying for a place against the winner of Denmark or North Macedonia in the final on 31st March.

It's a similar task ahead for Northern Ireland and Shea Charles, who visit Italy on Thursday looking for a spot in their final against either Bosnia and Herzegovina or Wales.

Cyle Larin has been rewarded for his impressive form since arriving on the south coast with a call up to Jesse Marsch's Canada squad. They host Iceland and Tunisia in a double header of friendlies as they build up their preparations for their home tournament this summer.

Daniel Peretz will team up once again with his native Israel, who travel to Georgia for a friendly on Thursday night.

Elsewhere Under-21s European Championship qualifying is at stake for Joshua Quarshie, who will host Northern Ireland's youngsters with Germany's Under-21s on Friday before travelling to Athens to face Greece.
