Head Coach Colin O’Brien’s side will take on Andorra on Thursday, October 7 followed by North Macedonia on Sunday, October 10 then Poland on Wednesday, October 10.
O’Brien named a 20-man squad for the first round of qualifications and fans looking to watch the Boys in Green can secure their place for the games with tickets priced at €5 for adults and €1 for kids/students/OAPs.
Speaking about the impact fans can have, O'Brien said: "After the fans returned for the friendly against Mexico is was great, it was refreshing and speaking to individual players the following day that was the biggest crowd some of those players played in front. They appreciated the support and connected well with the Irish fans and it helps when you score a couple of goals.
"These games are an opportunities for aspiring footballers to come down and see the level required at Under-17 level. We have some really exciting players and there's nothing like seeing live action."
FAI President Gerry McAnaney said: “This is a fantastic opportunity for schoolboy and schoolgirl clubs to come and see competitive international football in Cork. Senior internationals such as Gavin Bazunu, Adam Idah, Aaron Connolly and Jason Knight - to name a few - would have all competed here for the Men’s Under-17s and it’s a great opportunity for people to watch the next generation of Irish internationals play at Turner’s Cross.”
