Anthem jacket as worn during the UEFA Nations League B where The Boys in Green were fighting to avoid relegation to league C. Ireland were competing with Wales, Finland and Bulgaria, and thanks to a goalless draw against Bulgaria in the last round of games, the Irish team ultimately secured their status in league B by finishing in 3rd place.
