The Ireland Women’s Under-16s will host Cymru in two International Friendly games in the FAI National Training Centre.
Head Coach Tom Elmes and his staff will use the international camp to assess 32 players as they shape plans for the new season and upcoming fixtures.
The 2023-24 squad finished as runners-up in the UEFA Development Tournament and many of those players have graduated to the WU17s. Elmes will be hoping for similar success stories with this new group of players.
