Following from my earlier question on the word order of foireann sacair náisiúnta

Cúpla ceist eile.

Came across "Sraith UEFA na Seaimpíní" for UEFA Champions League? Is this correct or would it be "Sraith na Seaimpíní UEFA"?

"Foireann peile" seems to be usual. Why not "foireann pheile"?
San fhoclóir tá foireann fichille, foireann crúite, foireann boird srl ACH foireann mheilte?

I'd say it is correct: it is a competition for (national) champions run by UEFA.

Go raibh maith agat! So in a similar vein would these attempts be right?

Corn FIFA an Domhain = "FIFA World Cup" (rather than Corn an Domhain FIFA)?

Corn Sacair FIFA an Domhain = FIFA Soccer World Cup (seachas Corn Sacair an Domhain FIFA nó Corn FIFA Sacair an Domhain)?

Duais Nobel na Síochána = Nobel Peace Prize (seachas Duais na Síochána Nobel)?

Bheadh, dar liom. Tá feidhm aidiachta le FIFA anseo; agus ní leo an Domhain - fós.
