Just in case you had any doubt Dundalk are representing the WHOLE of Ireland next week…

Patrick McCarry

Nice work here.

Next Wednesday, at the Aviva Stadium, Dundalk will attempt to take a successful step to become Ireland’s first ever representatives in the Uefa Champions League group stages.

Stephen Kenny’s men take on Legia Warsaw in the first league of the Champions League playoff. Glory, history and a lucrative payday await.

Dundalk are hoping that fans of all persuasions can get along to the Lansdowne Road venue for the cup tie. They can certainly rely on some cheering Wexford voices.

The FAI has also pitched in with a superb video that shows the broad range of Irish players Dundalk have on their books. The SSE Airtricity League champions have players from Galway, Westmeath, Dublin, Mayo, Derry, Waterford, Meath… and Louth.

One league, one nation. All represented in one place.

It’s nearly time.
