Northern Ireland will face Poland, Finland, and Belarus in their UEFA Nations League group after the draw placed them as the lowest-ranked team in the section.
The group composition was confirmed on Tuesday, with Northern Ireland entering the competition as underdogs against three higher-ranked European sides. Poland, Finland, and Belarus all sit above Northern Ireland in the UEFA coefficient rankings.
BBC Sport NI journalist Lauren McCann reported that the draw sets up a challenging campaign for Northern Ireland, who will look to cause upsets against their more fancied opponents.
