Ceadach O'Neill and Braiden Graham Selected for Northern Ireland's Nations League Squad
Ceadach O'Neill from Arsenal and Braiden Graham from Everton have been included in Northern Ireland's squad for the upcoming Nations League quadruple-header. The selection was made by manager Michael O'Neill, who previously called up the two teenagers for friendly matches against Guinea and France in June.
Both players participated in the June friendlies, with O'Neill now bringing back several players who missed those matches, including defenders Dan Ballard, Paddy McNair, Terry Devlin, and Eoin Toal, as well as goalkeepers Bailey Peacock-Farrell and Conor Hazard, and striker Dion Charles.
Northern Ireland will kick off their 2026 Nations League B campaign with an away match against Georgia on September 25, followed by a home game against the same team on October 5. They will also face Hungary in Belfast and Ukraine in Slovakia during this period. The squad has expanded to 28 players for this series of matches, with additional players on standby.
