• Today at 17:00 the Latvian women’s football team will conclude their qualification cycle for the 2023 World Cup with a match against Northern Ireland. The Latvians have no chance of accessing it, occupying the last place in Group D with three points.
• The Northern Irish women are currently third in the group with 16 points. However, he has no hope of going any higher. In case the Northern Ireland players had the same points as Austria, second in the table, the fight would have continued with the Austrians, who have a better match balance (win 3: 1, draw 2: 2).
• In their first joint match, the Latvian players lost to the Northern Ireland ladies with 0: 4.
• The Latvians have already played one match in this match, losing to the North Macedonian national team in a dramatic 2: 3 match. The only success so far has been celebrated over Luxembourg, beating their opponents at home by 1: 0.
• There are several changes from the June sample call. The national team does not have players like Viktoria Vengreviča, Sofija Gergeležiu, Nikola Brahmane, but Ligita Tumane, Tatjana Balicheva and Katrina Loreta Gregorio cannot help due to injuries.
• European champions England, who have won nine games so far, will automatically enter the 2023 World Cup from Group D.
• The winner of each group automatically qualifies for the finals of the tournament, while the runners-up from all groups fight for the remaining two places in the play-offs. 11 European national teams will participate in the World Cup, but for the first time 32 national teams will play in the tournament.
• The match will take place at Jurmala’s Sloka Stadium. Admission is free for fans. Live broadcast on the TV4 channel and on the “Sportacentrs.com” portal.
