Uefa has opened an investigation into "potential inappropriate behaviour" by Republic of Ireland women's players after a video of them singing a pro-IRA chant emerged following their World Cup play-off win over Scotland.

 

European football's governing body confirmed an ethics and disciplinary inspector will oversee the case, with information on the matter to be made available "in due course".

 

The Republic manager Vera Pauw said the team apologised "from the bottom of our hearts" for the video. It emerged on social media after their 1-0 win at Hampden Park which saw them reach the World Cup for the first time.

 

The ball used by Diego Maradona to score two of the most famous goals in football history is to go on auction. The match ball used in the famous 1986 World Cup quarter final between England and Argentina carries an estimated price of 4 to 5 million dollars.

 

It is being sold by Ali Bin Nasser, the Tunisian referee who allowed Maradona's 'Hand of God' goal during the game. Bin Nasser said: "This ball is part of football history - it is the right time to be sharing it with the world."
