The Victory Shield is an annual football tournament competed for by the under-16 teams of Scotland, Republic of Ireland, Northern Ireland and Wales. The competition is broadcast live in the UK by Sky Sports who also sponsor the competition. It is sometimes referred to as the Sky Sports Victory Shield.
The Victory Shield had traditionally been competed for by the four Home Nations, but the Football Association withdrew the England team from the tournament "for the foreseeable future" in 2015.[1] The competition was continued after England's withdrawal, with the Republic of Ireland taking their place.[2]
