Craven Cottage confirmed for Ireland v Italy friendly

Martin O’Neill will take his team to London for the fixture on 31 May.

THE FAI HAS announced that Ireland will meet Italy at London’s Craven Cottage on 31 May (7.45pm).

The Boys in Green are lining up a number of friendly games for the end of the season and a visit of Turkey to Dublin on 25 May will be followed by a fixture against the Azzurri at Fulham’s home ground six days later.

On the same night, Wembley Stadium hosts the re-match between Carl Froch and George Groves.

It will be the 14th time that the teams have faced each other — the last meeting ended in a 2-0 win to Cesare Prandelli’s side at Euro 2012.

While they have yet to be confirmed,  Ireland are also in talks to play Costa Rica and Portugal in the US on 7 and 10 June.

Tickets for the game, starting at £10 for U16s and £25 for adults, are available through Fulham’s ticket office by calling +44 (0)843 208 1234, or by accessing their online portal: www.fulhamfc.com/tickets from Monday, March 24 at 10am.
