We are pleased to confirm that our men’s first team will face Leeds United at Dublin’s Croke Park as part of our 2026 Tour, presented by Snapdragon.
The match against our Yorkshire rivals will take place on Wednesday 12 August at the iconic 82,000-seat venue – the first time a club football fixture has ever been played at Ireland’s largest stadium.
August’s match will also be the first football fixture at the venue since November 2009, when the Republic of Ireland faced France in a FIFA World Cup play-off in front of 79,000 fans.
With our huge following across Ireland, the highly anticipated fixture is expected to achieve a capacity crowd.

Director of football Jason Wilcox said: “We’re excited to be heading to Dublin to face Leeds United as part of our pre-season preparations ahead of a big campaign.
“Playing an important fixture against one of our biggest rivals gives us a fantastic opportunity to connect with our supporters in Ireland. Their passion and energy will be invaluable as we build momentum and ensure the squad is in the strongest possible shape for the start of the 2026/27 season.”
In addition to the August fixture, our men’s first team will also travel to Dublin for a training camp from 6–9 April as the squad continues its push to finish the season as strongly as possible.
