Republic of Ireland captain Katie McCabe announced she will not attend – or watch – this year's World Cup in Qatar.
"Obviously, what's going on over there isn’t great,” McCabe, one of a number of LGBT players in Vera Pauw's squad, told RTÉ. “Not a good look for football but the decision has been made. The World Cup will continue and hopefully there won’t be bad news stories around, it will just be football played and that’ll be it.
"I don't have time to watch it, to be honest. We’re straight back into Champions League football. For me, if Ireland aren’t in it, I don’t really fancy it so I think I’ll be giving that one a miss."
