The Republic of Ireland will host Zambia in an International Friendly on Thursday, June 22 at Tallaght Stadium as another warm-up match for the upcoming Women's World Cup.

The first meeting of the two teams will act as the second opportunity for Vera Pauw’s squad since qualification to take on African opposition – following last November’s 4-0 win over Morocco – as they plan ahead for their Group B game against Nigeria in Brisbane.
