Republic of Ireland Under-17 Head Coach Colin O'Brien has called-up 20 players for a three-day training camp at Johnstown House Estate this week.

O'Brien and his backroom team have been hosting a number of assessment days for players in recent weeks as they look to put themselves in the frame for an international double-header at the end of August.

It is part of the build-up for the first round of the UEFA European Under-17 Championship qualifiers that take place in October with Ireland facing Poland, North Macedonia and Andorra at Turner's Cross.

The group met up today and will play a behind-closed-door friendly on Wednesday.
