Paul Doolin has named his 18 man Republic of Ireland U19 squad for the upcoming UEFA Championship finals which take place in Bucharest, Romania from July 20 to August 1.
The eight team UEFA Championship in Romania is the Republic of Ireland’s first appearance at the finals since 2002 after they emerged from the Elite Qualifying Phase ahead of Italy, Ukraine and Poland last May. The Airtricity League is represented once again by Bray Wanderers striker Conor Murphy.
Ireland will go into the finals on a seven game unbeaten run and will take on Greece in the opening Group A game on July 20th. The second game will see Paul Doolin's side take on Czech Republic on July 23 with the final group game taking place against the hosts Romania on July 26. Spain, Turkey, Serbia and Belgium will form Group B. Two from each group will progress to the semi finals on July 29 with the final taking place on August 1.
In preparation for the UEFA Championships, Republic of Ireland Head Coach, Paul Doolin and his squad will travel to Rome, Italy for a training camp from July 10-17.
“Picking just 18 players for this squad for the UEFA Championship finals has been an incredibly difficult task but I believe that the players selected are here on merit and our main priority must now be our opening game against Greece on July 20”, Paul Doolin said.
“Preparation for the tournament in Bucharest is key and the seven day training camp in Rome prior to the finals will be an ideal setting in terms of acclimatisation and getting the players together as a group.”
