This fixture takes place on Thursday 9th July 2015 at St Georges Park, Burton-on-Trent (1.00pm) - the new state of the art premier training facility of the English FA.
Thursday's game will be the first international outing for Commandant Declan Sheridan's Irish DF Team since their hugely impressive third place finish in the European Championship last November in Rochfort, France.
The UK Combined Forces Team are also coming in to the fixture with significant momentum as the reigning European Kentish Cup Champions defeating a formidable French side in the Final last October.
This all makes for a fascinating clash between two international neighbours that are both performing at the high end of European Military Soccer.
"As a team we are really looking forward to this historic fixture against the UK Combined Forces. It is always a privilege for us to represent the nation whether it be in uniform or in a jersey".
