The Republic of Ireland will open their Euro 2012 qualifying campaign with an away trip to Armenia on 3 September.
Giovanni Trapattoni’s first competitive game at the re-vamped Aviva Stadium will be against Andorra, four days later on 7 September.Commenting on the draw, Trapattoni said: ‘I am happy with this draw and the early fixtures represent good opportunities for us and it is always good to finish at home.
On balance, these fixtures are better than those we had in the previous World Cup qualification campaign.I also think the squad will have benefitted from the significant steps forward made against top sides like Bulgaria, Montenegro, Italy, France and Brazil.’
