Ireland underage football sides set for live RTÉ coverage tomorrow

Virgin Media will screen the Wales-North Macedonia qualifier tomorrow night.

TWO CRITICAL TOURNAMENT games for the Ireland U21 and U17 soccer teams are set to be televised live by RTÉ tomorrow.

Colin O’Brien’s U17s, fresh from their penalty shootout heroics against Canada in the last round, are in the round of 16 in the World Cup in Qatar where they face Switzerland.

Commentary comes from Cathal Mullaney and Graham Gartland with kick-off at 2.45pm, the game screened on RTÉ 2 and RTÉ Player.

Later on, Jim Crawford’s U21 team, who suffered their first defeat of the qualifying campaign to England in Birmingham last Friday night, have a chance to bounce back when they travel to face Andorra at the Estadi Nacional. Commentary will be from Des Curran and Kenny Cunningham with kick-off at 6.30pm.

Once again, this will be on RTÉ 2 and RTÉ Player. Both games will be hosted in the studio by Joanne Cantwell, with Alan Cawley and Stephen Kelly providing analysis.

Meanwhile, Virgin Media will be screening the World Cup qualifier between Wales and North Macedonia – which can impact Ireland’s seeding ahead of the play-offs.

That programme will begin at 7pm on Tuesday on Virgin Media Two, while Virgin Media Three will be screening Scotland v Denmark from 7.35pm.
