Ireland Boys Under-15s will kick-off 2025 with a friendly against an Australia Schoolboys selection in Dublin on Saturday afternoon.

Head Coach Jason Donohue has named a squad of 22 with seven first-time call-ups to the squad. 

Defenders Sonny Peyton of Crewe Alexandra and Ashton Gunning of Aston Villa receive their first Ireland call-ups. As do midfielders Henrik Andresen of Strømsgodset and Adrian Rascau of Bohemians. Three forwards, Cork’s City’s Calvin O’Sullivan-O’Shea, Waterford’s Temmy Gazal and Shamrock Rovers’ Corey Fay come into an Ireland squad for the first time.

The Young Boys in Green will look to build on an impressive performance against Portugal in Lisbon in November with Ireland unlucky to win a game that ended 0-0.
