Michael O'Neill Extends NI Stay

Michael O'Neill has reaffirmed his commitment to Northern Ireland by signing a long-term extension as national team manager.

The new agreement provides stability for the squad as they prepare for upcoming World Cup qualifiers and the 2028 European Championships.

O'Neill, who led the team to Euro 2016, is widely credited with modernizing the nation's footballing infrastructure and developing a promising new generation of young talent.
