Ireland will travel to Portugal in June to provide the final warm-up opposition for their hosts ahead of Euro 2024.
The two associations announced this morning that a friendly meeting will take place on Tuesday, June 11 in the city of Aveiro – where the local 32,000 capacity stadium is sporadically used by the national team. It was a host venue for Euro 2004.
That will be the first away game for the new manager with a Dublin friendly against Hungary confirmed for a week earlier on Tuesday, June 4.
Like Portugal, Hungary are also preparing for a summer in Germany.
The first games of 2024 for Ireland will be a March double header where Belgium and Switzerland both visit the Aviva Stadium.
