The Republic of Ireland's home leg in their European Under-21 Championship play-off against Finland has been fixed for Munster FA Turner's Cross in Cork.

Jim Crawford's side were drawn with Finland in this month's play-off draw, with the first leg taking place in Tampere in Finland on Friday, 13 November, with Ireland hosting the Finns in the second leg in Turner's Cross on Tuesday, 17 November.

Victory over the two ties will propel Ireland into the European U21 Championship finals for the first time.

Turner's Cross had hosted three of Ireland's home qualifiers during their Group D campaign, the 2-2 draw at home to Slovakia, the 4-3 win over Kazakhstan and then the memorable 3-1 victory over England which secured a play-off place.
