Katie McCabe has revealed that she will not travel to this year's World Cup in Qatar.
The Republic of Ireland captain, who is one of a number of LGBT players in Vera Pauw's squad, says Qatar's gay rights record is not a good look for football and revealed she will be giving the men's tournament, which kicks off later this month, a miss.
McCabe and her Ireland teammates made history last month by becoming the first Irish women's team to qualify for a major tournament, with the women's World Cup taking place in Australia and New Zealand next summer.
