Northern Ireland's Nations League play-off second leg against Iceland in Reykjavik has been postponed due to heavy snow.

Tanya Oxtoby's side were scheduled to play Iceland at their national stadium Laugardalsvollur on Tuesday night, but due to extreme weather conditions the match has been called off.

The IFA said on X: "After receiving official confirmation from UEFA in the last few moments, our senior women's game against Iceland will not go ahead this evening as planned."

Northern Ireland face an uphill battle to turn their promotion/relegation play-off around after losing the first leg 2-0 at the Ballymena Showgrounds on Friday.
