Five West Ham United women’s team players showcased their skills on the international stage on Tuesday night, with Jess Ziu standing out as a hero for the Republic of Ireland. Ziu played a crucial role in Ireland’s impressive 3-1 victory over France in the UEFA Women’s Euro 2025 qualifying match. This win marked a historic moment for Ireland, securing their first-ever victory over France.
In addition to Ziu’s standout performance, other West Ham players also made their mark in international action. Kirsty Smith contributed to Scotland’s 1-0 win against Serbia, helping her team secure promotion back to Group A after a challenging season. Halle Houssein made a notable appearance for Türkiye in their 4-1 victory over Hungary, while Amber Tysiak represented Belgium in a tough match against Spain.
Despite some losses for players like Kinga Szemik of Poland, who fell to Iceland, the overall international experience was valuable for all the West Ham United women’s team players. As they wrap up their Euro 2025 qualifying campaigns, these players will soon return to the Hammers to prepare for the upcoming season.
The international exposure and competitive matches will undoubtedly benefit these players as they head into pre-season with West Ham United. Fans can look forward to seeing how these experiences shape their performance in the 2024/25 season.
