On Tuesday, October 14th, 2025, the Republic of Ireland's national football team will face a crucial World Cup qualifier against Armenia in Dublin. The Irish side, led by manager Heimir Hallgrimsson, currently sits at the bottom of Group F after suffering defeats in their previous matches against Tuesday's opponents and Portugal.
Hallgrimsson, who previously guided his native Iceland to the 2018 World Cup, remains optimistic about his team's chances. "I believe in this team and I think this team has everything to qualify for the World Cup," he stated. The manager emphasized the importance of a fast start and smart tactics, as Ireland seeks to redeem themselves after their recent setbacks.
Despite the pressure to win, Hallgrimsson is confident his players can rise to the occasion. "The result is the only thing that matters - however we do it. This is a result game, 100%," he said. The Icelander is aware of Armenia's quality and the need for his team to be disciplined throughout the match, as a single lapse in concentration could prove costly.
With their World Cup dreams hanging in the balance, Ireland will be determined to secure a much-needed victory on home soil and keep their slim qualification hopes alive.
