Ireland’s U-21 side to face Iceland in Cork this March
Ireland's U-21 side will play in Cork for the first time in 14 years in a friendly against Iceland in March.
Jim Crawford's side are this week awaiting the outcome of the draw for the next Euro qualifying campaign, but as part of the build up, Iceland will visit Turner's Cross for a friendly on Sunday March 26th, 24 hours before the senior side host France in a Euro 2024 qualifier.
"I’m really excited to be bringing a team to Cork and showing our fans the talent that Irish football has to offer," Crawford said.
“When you see how much the Cork public came out to watch other Irish international sides and their hometown Cork City you can’t help but be enticed to play a game in what is great city."
