Manager VeraPauw will represent the Ireland Women’s National Football Team as Grand Marshal of this year’s StPatricksDay Parade.
She will be joined at the head of the parade by Ireland defender Diane Caldwell and former international Paula Gorham.
Organisers said the team, who qualified for their first-ever World Cup last year, “reflects the very best of Ireland’s strength, perseverance and sporting achievement and acts as an inspiration for fans young and old across Ireland”.“What a year 2023 will be for women’s football in Ireland but also for the country as a whole because we celebrate our success together," she said.
“The achievement of this team is incredible but we know that we wouldn’t have made it without the fantastic support of the Irish people, from all around the world. “So it is a huge honour for the team to be named as Grand Marshal for the St. Patrick’s Day Parade before we fly to Australia this summer to do the nation proud at the FIFA Women’s World Cup.
“I feel extremely lucky to represent the squad and will be especially looking forward to seeing all the smiling faces on March 17th.”
