The FAI have confirmed they will carry out 'a full and comprehensive review of the campaign and tournament' following their Women's World Cup exit.

While manager Vera Pauw wasn't mentioned in their statement, the Ireland boss' contract is now up and it remains to be seen if it will be renewed.

In a statement issued on Wednesday they noted:

The Football Association of Ireland would like to congratulate the players, management and staff of the Ireland Women’s National Team on their performance at the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023 and to thank all Irish fans both at home, around the world and in Australia for their magnificent support. 

We look forward to celebrating the team with fans at the Homecoming event on O’Connell Street in Dublin tomorrow evening. 
 
With our World Cup journey at an end, the FAI will now undertake a full and comprehensive review of the campaign and tournament, as is our standard practice, and this will be discussed at the next FAI Board Meeting in the coming weeks.
