Emily Cassap, Northern Ireland, Michael McArdle
29 May 2026
Emily Cassap received her first senior Northern Ireland call-up for World Cup qualifiers against Turkey and Switzerland. The Sunderland player changed allegiance earlier this year after previously representing England at youth level.
Cassap is one of five squad changes, with Fi Morgan, Mia Moore, Maddy Harvey-Clifford and Kelsie Burrows also included. Injuries to Caragh Hamilton and Laura Rafferty opened room as Northern Ireland continue their transition.
