The Ulster Banner, a flag often used by the Northern Ireland national football team.

The Northern Ireland national football team plays for Northern Ireland in men's international association football matches. For many years, from 1882 to 1950, one team represented all of Ireland. This team was organized by the Irish Football Association (IFA).

In 1921, a new football group, the Football Association of Ireland (FAI), started in Dublin. This led to a separate team for what became the Republic of Ireland. In 1953, FIFA, the world football body, decided that the IFA's team would be called "Northern Ireland."

Northern Ireland has played in three FIFA World Cups. They reached the quarter-finals in 1958 and 1982. For a long time, they were the smallest country to qualify for a World Cup. They also played in the UEFA Euro 2016 tournament, reaching the Round of 16. Their last World Cup appearance was in 1986.

Team History

The first international game for the team was on February 18, 1882. They played against England in Belfast and lost 13–0. This is still their biggest defeat. A few days later, they scored their first goal in a game against Wales.

In 1884, Ireland played in the first British Home Championship. They lost all their games. Their first win came on February 19, 1887, a 4–1 victory over Wales. Even after this win, they still had some very big losses.

Around 1899, the Irish FA changed its rules. Before this, only players from the Irish League could be chosen. After the change, they could pick Irish players who played for clubs in England. This helped the team improve.

The Football Split

In 1920, Ireland was divided into Northern Ireland and Southern Ireland. In 1922, Southern Ireland became the Irish Free State. During these changes, the Football Association of Ireland (FAI) started in Dublin in 1921. They created their own league and national team.

For a while, both the IFA and FAI had teams called "Ireland." In 1950, the IFA team even used players who had also played for the FAI in the same World Cup qualifiers. This caused problems.

To fix this, FIFA stepped in. In 1953, FIFA ruled that the FAI team would be called "Republic of Ireland." The IFA team would be known as "Northern Ireland." This made sure players only played for one national team.

Major Tournament Performances

British Home Championship Success

Before the 1950s, the main competition for Northern Ireland was the British Home Championship. They won this tournament eight times. They were the last team to win it in 1984 before it ended. The trophy is still owned by the Irish FA.

FIFA World Cup Journeys

Danny Blanchflower (left) led Northern Ireland at the 1958 FIFA World Cup. George Best (right), a famous player, never reached a major tournament with the team.

Northern Ireland's best World Cup performance was in their first appearance in 1958. They reached the quarter-finals after beating Czechoslovakia 2–1. They were then knocked out by France, losing 4–0.

In 1958, Northern Ireland became the smallest country to qualify for the World Cup. This record stood until 2006. However, Northern Ireland is still the smallest country to qualify for more than one World Cup, win a World Cup match, and get past the first round.

Danny Blanchflower was the captain in 1955. He also captained Tottenham Hotspur in England. His younger brother, Jackie Blanchflower, was also a key player. He won titles with Manchester United but his career ended due to injuries in a plane crash in 1958.

Even with the amazing player George Best in the 1960s and 1970s, Northern Ireland did not qualify for any major tournaments during that time.

Northern Ireland also qualified for the 1982 FIFA World Cup. Their first game was a 0–0 draw against Yugoslavia. This game was special because 17-year-old Norman Whiteside became the youngest player ever in a World Cup final, a record he still holds.

They then drew 1–1 with Honduras. Many thought this meant they wouldn't go further. But they needed to beat hosts Spain. In a tough game, Gerry Armstrong scored the only goal. Even with a player sent off, Northern Ireland won 1–0 and topped their group.

They drew 2–2 with Austria in the next round. A win against France would have put them in the semi-finals. However, France, led by Michel Platini, won 4–1, ending Northern Ireland's journey.

They also qualified for the 1986 FIFA World Cup but were knocked out in the group stages. Billy Bingham, who played in the 1958 squad, was the manager for both the 1982 and 1986 World Cups. Northern Ireland has not qualified for any other World Cups since then.

Recent Team History

The Our Wee Country mural in east Belfast celebrates Northern Ireland beating England at home in 2005.

In January 2004, Lawrie Sanchez became manager. The team had not scored a goal in 13 games before he arrived. This was a European record. The scoring drought ended in his first game, a 1–4 loss to Norway. Their 16-game winless streak ended in his second game, a 1–0 friendly win against Estonia.

On September 7, 2005, Northern Ireland famously beat England 1–0 in a World Cup qualifier at Windsor Park. David Healy scored the winning goal. A year later, on September 6, 2006, Northern Ireland defeated Spain 3–2 in a Euro 2008 qualifier, with Healy scoring three goals.

Michael O'Neill became manager in February 2012. The team then qualified for its first ever UEFA European Championship, Euro 2016 in France. This was their first major tournament in 30 years. They secured their spot by beating Greece 3–1 at Windsor Park on October 8, 2015.

At Euro 2016, Northern Ireland lost 1–0 to Poland, won 2–0 against Ukraine, and lost 1–0 to Germany in the group stage. This was enough to reach the Round of 16, where they lost 1–0 to Wales due to an own goal.

Home Stadium

Northern Ireland plays its home matches at the Clearer Twist National Stadium at Windsor Park in Belfast. This stadium is also home to Linfield. The Irish Football Association (IFA) has a long-term lease for the stadium.

There were talks about building a new stadium for different sports outside Belfast. However, many fans wanted the team to stay in Belfast. They preferred a smaller, redeveloped stadium in the city.

By 2007, there were concerns about Windsor Park's condition. The IFA even considered ending their contract for the stadium. In 2008, Belfast City Council looked into building a new sports stadium in Belfast.

In March 2009, plans for a new 25,000-seat stadium in East Belfast were announced. This stadium would be used for both football and rugby union. However, the IFA later decided to support redeveloping Windsor Park instead.

The new redeveloped Windsor Park. This view from the Kop (West Stand) shows the nearly finished stadium.

In 2011, the Northern Ireland government set aside money for stadium upgrades across the region. £28 million was given for Windsor Park. The plan was to make Windsor Park an 18,000-seat stadium. This included tearing down old stands and building new ones, plus renovating existing parts.

Work was supposed to start in 2013. However, another football club, Crusaders, started legal action. They argued that the funding might unfairly help Linfield, the stadium owners. After some delays and discussions, the redevelopment finally began on May 6, 2014. The work was finished in 2015.

Supporters: The Green and White Army

The Green and White Army, Northern Ireland's loyal fans.

The fans who follow the Northern Ireland national football team are known as the Green and White Army.

After the team beat England in 2005, more people wanted tickets than were available. Fans often sing fun songs at home matches, like "We're not Brazil, we're Northern Ireland."

One of the most famous Northern Ireland footballers was George Best. He played for Manchester United and won the European Footballer of the Year award in 1968. He played 37 times for his country and scored 9 goals.

Before Euro 2016, a song called "Will Grigg's on Fire" became very popular. It was about Northern Irish player Will Grigg and was sung to the tune of "Freed From Desire". It became a huge hit online and in stadiums.

Tackling Past Issues

Former captain Neil Lennon stopped playing international football due to serious threats.

In the past, a small number of Northern Ireland supporters caused problems with their behavior.

In 2000, the IFA started the "Football For All" campaign. This was to stop bad behavior at games. Before this, it was hard for the team to even find a sponsor because of their poor image. Not many people came to matches.

A player named Neil Lennon faced serious threats while playing for Northern Ireland. He decided to stop playing international football in 2002 because of this. This incident showed how important it was to change things.

The "Football For All" campaign has been very successful. Neil Lennon himself has praised the efforts made to create a better atmosphere. He thanked people who worked to make games more fun and family-friendly.

In 2006, Northern Ireland's supporters received an award for their charity work and good behavior. They were recognized for their efforts to make the games welcoming for everyone.

In 2011, a government minister praised the IFA for their work to improve the atmosphere at matches. Now, Northern Ireland games often sell out, and many women and children attend.
