FAI Apologizes for ‘Londonderry’ Mistake in Ireland Women’s Match Programme

The Football Association of Ireland (FAI) has issued an apology after a match programme against Wales mistakenly labeled County Derry as ‘Londonderry’. Former Ireland international James McClean criticized the error as ‘disgusting and insulting’. The FAI acknowledged the incident as a genuine mistake and expressed regret for any offense caused. This incident follows a prior apology from the FAI regarding another match programme that included inappropriate translations. Ireland lost the game to Wales 2-1, ending their hopes for qualifying for Euro 2025.
