The Republic of Ireland will face Slovakia on March 29th.

The game at the Aviva stadium will be the final friendly before the squad meet up to prepare for Euro 2016 in mid-June, and four days after the team play Switzerland on Good Friday.

The game will be the fifth time Ireland have played Slovakia, who were yesterday drawn against Wales, England and Russia in their Euro 2016 group.

Ireland’s group looks a little bit more difficult. Martin O’Neill’s side play Sweden on June 13th in Paris, Belgium in Bordeaux on June 18th and finish the group against Italy on June 22nd.
