After their heroics in Budapest, the Boys in Green have been drawn to play the Czech Republic on March 27, 2026. The match is set to be held at Prague's Fortuna Arena, the home of Slavia Prague, which has a capacity of only 19,370 spectators.

Ireland fans are expected to receive five per cent of tickets, meaning that fewer than 1,000 will be available to away supporters.
