The Boys in Green will play Norway as they look to end their tournament on a high.

The Irish side had qualified from the Group 1 phase with victories over the Netherlands, Italy, South Korea and Sweden.

The second group stage of the tournament saw Ireland miss out on qualification losing to two of the tournament favourites Mexico and Chile but sealing a solid win over Hungary 5-4.

Speaking about the tournament, Team Organiser Sean Kavanagh said: “We started the tournament strongly and have given it our all. In a few of the games that we have lost it has been by the odd goal which shows how close we have been in terms of quality. 

“The aim now is to go out there and hopefully bring a trophy back to Ireland.”
