Cliftonville's League Cup win overturned by NIFL

Cliftonville's hopes of a domestic treble have been ended after they were stripped of their 2026 Women's League Cup title for fielding two ineligible players in the final. Beaten finalists Glentoran lodged a complaint with the Northern Ireland Football League [NIFL] following their 4-0 defeat in the July showpiece at Seaview and have now been awarded a 3-0 victory. "The NIFL Competitions Committee found that the two players had not been correctly registered in accordance with the competition regulations," said a statement.
