FAI awaits news on Georgia qualifier

The FAI is awaiting news on next month's World Cup qualifier against Georgia after officially requesting that the game be played in a neutral venue.

The move follows the outbreak of war last week between Georgia and Russia.

FIFA says it is closely monitoring the situation, but believes it is still too early to make contingency plans for Georgia's home qualifiers in Tblisis.

Meanwhile, a decision will be made later today on whether Georgia's international friendly with Wales next week will go ahead

The fixture in Swansea is in doubt due to the ongoing hostilities in Georgia.
