The Republic of Ireland's Secret Golden Generation

Ranked 48th in the FIFA World Rankings, the Republic of Ireland haven't qualified for the World Cup in over 20 years, they didn't win a single game in 2020, and in 2021 they lost 1-0 to Luxembourg.

It's been a bleak few years then, but now there is a sneaking suspicion that something special might be on the horizon, thanks to the likes of Evan Ferguson at Brighton, Gavin Bazunu at Southampton, and Caoimhín Kelleher at Liverpool.

In this video, HITC Sevens takes a look at the state of soccer in Ireland, the future prospects of the national team, and whether this current crop of youngsters are worthy of the name 'golden generation'.
