Ireland's senior women's soccer team will make their World Cup debut later this morning.
Their opening game against tournament co-hosts Australia kicks off at the Accor Stadium in Sydney at 11 o'clock Irish time.
Two Donegal women, Amber Barrett and Ciara Grant are part of the squad.
It's expected to be a sell-out crowd of over 80 thousand fans.
