The Republic of Ireland will face Hungary and Andorra as part of a nine-day training camp in Spain in June which Stephen Kenny will use to bed in his ideas and practises ahead of the next round of World Cup qualifiers in September.

The camp and the games had been on the cards but the Republic of Ireland confirmed as much this afternoon prior to tomorrow’s friendly against World Cup hosts Qatar in Hungary.
