Izzy Atkinson has been named in Republic of Ireland's 23-player squad for the upcoming 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup.
Head Coach Vera Pauw has selected the 21-year-old winger for the competition, which is taking place in Australia and New Zealand throughout July and August.
Atkinson was initially on Pauw's standby list when the provisional 31-player squad was named, but impressed in a short cameo in a 3-2 win against Zambia in their first warm-up fixture ahead of the competition, prompting a selection for the countries first ever World Cup campaign.
Here they are!
