UEFA to investigate Ireland dressing room chants

UEFA has opened an investigation after Republic of Ireland players sang a pro-IRA chant following their Women's World Cup play-off victory over Scotland.

Video circulated on social media after Tuesday night's 1-0 win at Hampden Park of the players singing The Wolfe Tones' Celtic Symphony in the dressing room after the match.

Ireland manager Vera Pauw and the FAI issued apologies over the incident, but European football's governing body has confirmed it will take a closer look.

"In accordance with Article 31(4) of the UEFA disciplinary regulations, a UEFA ethics and disciplinary inspector will investigate potential inappropriate behaviour by players of the Republic of Ireland Women's team in the aftermath of the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup qualifiers play-off second leg match played against Scotland on October 11, 2022," a UEFA statement said.

"Information on this matter will be made available in due course."
