While the UEFA World Cup qualification process is already underway for many nations, Group F is only just kicking off due to the presence of Portugal, who were competing in the latter stages of the Nations League earlier in the year – and in fact won it.
Cristiano Ronaldo's side are the obvious favourites to top the group, which would leave Ireland needing to fight off both Hungary and Armenia for a ticket to the World Cup in the US, Canada, and Mexico next summer.
Ireland manager Heimir Hallgrímsson has named a strong squad that includes Evan Ferguson and Chiedozie Ogbene.
