The public sale of new season tickets will commence on Monday, February 21st.
Looking ahead to the two March fixtures, FAI Chief Executive Jonathan Hill said:
“The Centenary of the FAI demands a very special opponent to celebrate the rich history of Irish teams on the international stage and what better opponents than the top ranked team in the world. Belgium have set the standards for developing young players in recent years and we are really excited by the visit of Roberto Martinez’s team. We also look forward to welcoming Lithuania to Dublin for the second of our games in March.”
