The Republic of Ireland will play Chile in an international friendly at Lansdowne Road on Wednesday, May 24th.
The game gives new manager Steve Staunton another opportunity to call a squad together ahead of the summer break.
"It’s another big game for us," said Staunton today. "I don’t know much about them now but I will in a couple of weeks.
"They’re a typical South American side so it’ll be good for the lads to play against a different kind of style and system."
