After beating World No 2 France in their final Group A3 game in July, the Girls in Green secured a seeded spot for the Play-Off series that will be played over two rounds as they continue on their quest to reach a first ever European Championships.
In Round 1 of the Qualifying Play-Offs, Ireland will take on Georgia in a two-legged tie with the second game scheduled for Tuesday, October 29th in Tallaght Stadium and kick-off is set for 19:30.
If Ireland progress to Round 2, they will play either Cymru or Slovakia over a two-legged tie with the home game to take place in the Aviva Stadium at 19:30 on Tuesday, December 3rd. The team who wins that tie will book a place at the EURO 2025 finals tournament in Switzerland.
Ireland WNT Head Coach Eileen Gleeson said: "We’re delighted to have both Tallaght Stadium and the Aviva Stadium confirmed for the European Qualifying Play-Off stages.
"Tallaght Stadium has played a huge part in the journey of the Women’s National Team and we look forward to experiencing another incredible experience generated by our wonderful fans.
"Should we progress to Round 2 of the Play-Offs, the Aviva Stadium will be a fitting venue for what could be another historic milestone in Irish women’s football.
"Playing in front of our home fans is always an honour for the team. The support of our fans makes a huge difference for the girls and to potentially finish our EURO 2025 qualifying campaign in front of a packed Aviva Stadium would truly be magical.
"For now, full focus remains on Phase 1 of the qualifiers and our games versus Georgia. We look forward to seeing everyone back in our home stadiums soon."
Ireland last hosted Georgia at Tallaght Stadium in November 2021 when they secured a record 11-0 win. This latest meeting between the teams will be the 33rd official game for the WNT at the Dublin 24 venue.
Should they reach Round 2 of the Play-Off series, the WNT will return to Aviva Stadium for the fourth time.
Tickets for the Georgia game will go on general sale from Friday, September 20th, while the general sale period for the Round 2 game will start on Friday, November 1st.
Both games will be broadcast live on RTÉ2 and RTÉ Player.
