A New Dream: The Northern Ireland Squad That Qualified For Euro 2022 (centre poster)

The centre spread of the issue is given to the Northern Ireland squad that qualified for Euro 2022, photographed on the pitch at Seaview in Belfast on the night of 13 April 2021, the second leg against Ukraine. Two rows of players in green, arms round each other, one on crutches, a Euro 2022 mark in the corner and the caption running along the foot with the hashtag the magazine put on its cover: A New Dream. The Presseye photograph for the Irish FA carries no player names, presenting the squad as a whole, and it marks the first major-tournament qualification by a Northern Ireland side of either sex. Five of the players pictured tell the story themselves over the following pages.
