Heavy snowfall in Reykjavik has led to the postponement of the Nations League play-off match between Iceland and Northern Ireland. The second leg, initially set for Tuesday at 18:00 GMT, was to occur at Laugardalsvollur Stadium. The Icelandic Football Association, KSI, announced that they are evaluating the situation and the options moving forward.
Match Rescheduling Possibilities
The match could either be rescheduled for Wednesday or postponed until the next international window. This upcoming window runs from late November to early December. Further snowfall is expected in Reykjavik, making conditions challenging.
Current Match Status
Iceland currently leads the tie by two goals following the first leg, played in Ballymena last Friday. Goals from Glodis Viggosdottir and Ingibjorg Sigurdardottir secured this advantage for the home team. Northern Ireland, managed by Tanya Oxtoby, aims for promotion to League A for the first time.
Viewing Options
- The match was slated to be broadcast live on BBC iPlayer.
- Additional streaming options were available on the BBC Sport app and website.
- Meanwhile, the men’s Irish Premiership match between Linfield and Coleraine has been rescheduled for broadcasting.
With the inclement weather posing significant challenges, both teams await the KSI’s decision on the next steps regarding the play-off match.
