Northern Ireland take on Finland later in the opening game of their history-making appearance in the World Cup Futsal qualifying in Moldova.

Jonny Michael’s side arrived in the former Soviet republic late last night – after flight delays due to adverse weather which saw them initially land in nearby Romania.

The game kicks off at 7pm UK time – and is streamed live on the link below.

Northern Ireland are in Group H with the top two teams progressing into the main round.

Lithuania will host the 24-team tournament in 2020.
