Northern Ireland will play their final home Nations League game against Poland at Seaview on Friday, 30 May.
The game in north Belfast next month will kick off at 19:00 BST.
Tanya Oxtoby's side last played at Seaview, the home of Irish Premiership side Crusaders, in October 2023 when they drew 1-1 with Hungary in the Nations League.
Head coach Oxtoby will be without assistant Stuart McLaren after his departure was announced following Tuesday's 1-0 win against Romania at Windsor Park.
The Scottish coach joined the backroom staff at the start of 2024 but leaves to take up a new role with Fifa, working closely with the Ghanaian FA as a talent coach.
"It's an exciting role and a great opportunity but, naturally, I'm sad to leave Northern Ireland," McLaren said.
"During my time here I've seen real collaboration across all parts of the senior women's set-up. There is clarity and structure. Every camp we evolve and look to learn how we can do things better."
Northern Ireland are second in Group B1 having picked up seven points from their four games.
They are three points behind leaders Poland, who drew 1-1 with Bosnia-Herzegovina earlier this week.
NI will finish their Nations League campaign away to the Bosnians on Tuesday, 3 June in Zenica.
