Much sought-after O'Neill named in N Ireland squad
The 28-man group includes Arsenal teenager Ceadach O'Neill and returns for Jordan Thompson and Dion Charles as Michael O'Neill manages four matches in 11 days.
- On Tuesday, September 15, 2026, Northern Ireland manager Michael O'Neill named a 28-man squad for the upcoming Nations League campaign, including Arsenal teenager Ceadach O'Neill.
- The call-up aims to secure the international future of the 18-year-old, who has attracted interest from the Football Association of Ireland despite his two prior appearances for Northern Ireland.
- Under FIFA rules, should O'Neill play in one of the four upcoming competitive fixtures, he will be prohibited from transferring his international allegiance to another association for three years.
- Facing a dense 11-day schedule with four matches, O'Neill expanded his selection to 28 players, exceeding the 23-man squad used during the June international window.
- The team faces away matches against Georgia on September 25 and Ukraine on October 2, alongside a home fixture against Hungary in Belfast on September 28.
