Republic of Ireland confirm March friendly with Latvia as part of Euro qualifiers preparation

The Republic of Ireland have announced a March friendly against Latvia to start their 2023 programme.

The game will take place at Dublin's Aviva Stadium on Wednesday, March 22 and serves as a warm-up for their opening European Championship qualifier against World Cup finalists France. 

Stephen Kenny's side start their UEFA Euro 2024 qualifying campaign against France in Dublin on March 27.
Netherlands, Greece and Gibraltar are also in Group B of Euro qualifying.
The Republic, who ended 2022 with a 1-0 friendly win in Malta in November, have won all five of their previous fixtures against Latvia.
Kenny's men won just four of their 10 internationals this year, with two of those wins coming in competitive fixtures.
A 3-0 victory over Scotland in a UEFA Nations League clash last June was arguably the highlight of 2022 for Ireland.
