The Republic of Ireland national football team is the football team of the Republic of Ireland and is governed by the Football Association of Ireland (FAI). It is a member of both UEFA and FIFA.
Although the team has been involved in international competition since the 1930s, it did not qualify for any international tournaments until Euro 88 in Germany. That achievement was followed by reaching the quarter-finals of the 1990 World Cup. The Irish also reached the second round in the 1994 and 2002 World Cups.
The side is managed by Don Givens, who has taken the role over in a caretaker capacity since the sacking of Steve Staunton. The captain of the side is Tottenham Hotspur striker Robbie Keane.
Home fixtures are usually played at Lansdowne Road, but due to redevelopment Croke Park is the temporary home of the side.
