Northern Ireland v Republic of Ireland: BBC to show Women's Nations League match on 5 December
- Published
Northern Ireland's last women's fixture at Windsor Park was a 5-0 defeat by England in April 2022
Northern Ireland's final Women's Nations League match against the Republic of Ireland at Windsor Park will be shown live on the BBC iPlayer and BBC Two Northern Ireland on 5 December.
Sarah Mulkerrins will present coverage with Thomas Kane on commentary.
The Republic won 3-0 when the sides met at Aviva Stadium in the reverse game.
The Republic have won Group B1 but Northern Ireland can still finish second behind their neighbours.
NI, who drew with Hungary earlier this week, usually play their home matches at Seaview, but have played at the redeveloped Windsor Park on two occasions, in a win over Latvia in September 2021 and a 5-0 loss to England in April 2022.
The reverse fixture between the sides in September was the first women's international to be played at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin, where the hosts ran out comfortable winners in front of a crowd of 35,994.
Northern Ireland's men's team play their home fixtures at Windsor Park, which boasts a capacity of 18,500.
"To be back at the National Stadium at Windsor Park for a major senior women's international is testament to the growth of the women's game in Northern Ireland," NI manager Tanya Oxtoby said earlier this week.
"For me, it will be particularly special to manage the team there for the first time. Not only do I feel that the players will benefit from this but our brilliant fans will make it an atmosphere to help the team perform to its peak."
Both teams have played in their first major tournaments in the past 18 months as Northern Ireland featured at Euro 2022 and the Republic of Ireland debuted at the World Cup in Australia and New Zealand in July.
Angela Platt, director of women's football at the Irish FA, added: "The National Football Stadium at Windsor Park is the home of football in Northern Ireland. It is a place we are proud of and one that is befitting of this fixture.
"We are looking forward to welcoming our neighbours from the Republic of Ireland for what we hope will be a fantastic contest.
"It will also be an opportunity to demonstrate to everyone how far the women's game has come here and how it continues to grow across the island of Ireland."
Northern Ireland travel to Albania on 1 December while the Republic host Hungary before making the trip up to Belfast.
