Airtricity League XI manager Damien Richardson has announced a reduced squad of 21 players for next week’s Dublin Super Cup tournament.
With the approval of the managers of Shamrock Rovers, Sligo Rovers and St Patrick’s Athletic, who are involved in UEFA club action during the week, additional places in the squad will be filled prior to the tournament by players from those teams.
Richardson’s squad will assemble on Wednesday morning ahead of the prestigious tournament at the Aviva Stadium next weekend.
The Airtricity League XI will meet Manchester City on Saturday, July 30 (2.00pm) and Celtic on Sunday, July 31 (2.00pm) in the four-team tournament, which also includes Italian giants Inter Milan. All three teams will be bringing their full first-team squads, meaning fans will get to see the likes of Samuel Eto’o, Wesley Sneijder and David Silva in action.
“I am comfortable that I have assembled a strong squad that will be very competitive in each of our two fixtures and will be properly representative of the quality of player in the Airtricity League,” said Richardson. “We have two games against very high calibre opposition and I am certain that we will give a good account of ourselves.”
“With a number of clubs still in European club competition, it has obviously had a degree of impact on the availability of certain players. The tournament will be broadcast to over 160 territories around the world and will be great exposure for the Airtricity League players and Ireland and Dublin as a whole.”
