Chieo Ogbene has been called up to the Republic of Ireland squad for their upcoming UEFA Nations League campaign.

The forward will join up with Heimir Hallgrímsson's side as they begin their League B Group 3 campaign, with Ireland facing Kosovo, Israel and Austria across four fixtures during the September and October international window.

Ogbene has earned 35 caps for the Republic of Ireland since making his senior debut in 2021 and will be looking to add to that tally during the upcoming window.

The 29-year-old featured regularly for the Republic during the 2025/26 campaign, making seven appearances across the season and recording 761 minutes of international football. He also scored once, while the FAI's season review identified him as Ireland's leading threat for successful dribbles.

Ireland begin their Nations League campaign away to Kosovo on Thursday 24 September, before travelling to Hungary to face Israel three days later.

They then welcome Austria to the Aviva Stadium on Thursday 1 October, before facing Israel again on Sunday 4 October, with that fixture taking place in Serbia.
