The March international break ends in Stockholm for Northern Ireland as they face Sweden in a friendly on Tuesday night.

Michael O'Neill's team will have to wait until the autumn to start their 2026 World Cup qualifying campaign, having been drawn in one of the four-team groups alongside either Germany or Italy, Luxembourg or Slovakia.

O'Neill has confirmed his side have made reaching next summer's tournament their target, whether that's by topping the group or via a second-place finish and the play-offs, and feels ensuring they're competitive in friendlies against quality opposition will help with that goal.

They will certainly be tested on Tuesday as Sweden have a squad packed with top-level European talent and are coming off the back of an impressive Nations League campaign, which saw them win five of their six games and top Group C1.

Even with highly-rated Sporting striker Viktor Gyökeres absent, the youthful Northern Irish backline are set to have their hands full against the likes of Alexander Isak and Anthony Elanga, but that can only be a good thing with the future in mind.
