Our Northern Ireland U15s competed twice today at the FIFA U15 World Cup & Festival 🏆

The young side narrowly lost on penalties to Venezuela following a 1-1 draw, before a 3-2 defeat to the Republic of Ireland in their second fixture.

Despite the results, there were some fantastic individual and team performances, with Michael Mulholland scoring all four of our goals across the two matches ⚽️

A proud effort from the young side 💚🤍

A special moment and a fitting reward for her determination to get back doing what she loves👏
