Finland vs Republic of Ireland History

As of 2024, Finland have never qualified for the FIFA World Cup, albeit their qualifying record has, on the whole, improved. The Huuhkajat did, however, finally break their run in terms of qualifying for the UEFA European Championships, making it through to the delayed Euro 2020 finals. At those finals, Markku Kanerva’s side started well by beating Denmark in their opening game, a match remembered for Christian Eriksen’s cardiac event, but they then lost to both Russia and Belgium and subsequently failed to make it through to the knockout phase.

Prior to appointing Jack Charlton as Republic of Ireland manager in 1986, the Boys in Green had never made it to the finals of any major tournaments. The English boss soon became a national hero, taking the Irish to the Quarter-finals of Italia 1990, where they famously defeated Romania in a penalty shootout before losing out to the hosts. He also took the team to the 1994 World Cup, where they amazingly defeated Italy in the group stage before losing in the Round of 16. A feat they repeated in 2002. Charlton also took the Republic of Ireland to Euro 88, where they were unfortunate not to get out of their group. All in all, the nation’s record after Charlton left the job has been patchy, to say the least.

Finland vs Republic of Ireland Head-to-Head

These two sides first met in competitive national team action in the qualifying for the 1950 FIFA World Cup, with Ireland winning 3-0 at home before drawing in Finland. They also met in the Nations League in 2020. The Finns had the upper hand on this occasion, with Augsburg midfielder Fredrik Jensen netting both home and away in 1-0 victories.
