The Republic of Ireland will face Belgium and Switzerland at the Aviva Stadium in March.<\/p>\n

The first of the two friendlies will see Belgium visit Dublin on March 23 for a 5pm kick-off, with Switzerland following three days later at 7.45pm.<\/p>\n

Ireland last faced Belgium in a 2-2 draw in March last year, while Switzerland will play a match in Dublin for the first time since a 1-1 draw in September 2019 in a European Championship qualifier.<\/p>\n

Ireland are currently without a manager after Stephen Kenny\u2019s contract was not renewed following the end of a disappointing Euro 2024 qualifying campaign.<\/p>\n

They finished fourth in Group B, with their only points coming from two victories against Gibraltar.<\/p>\n

Ireland will also play a friendly double-header in June, with the opposition to be announced at a later date, before the start of the Nations League in September.<\/p>\n
