The first steps on a planned return to League of Ireland starts today when players from four clubs will be tested for Covid-19.
Dundalk, Shamrock Rovers, Bohemians and Derry City are all due to compete in European competition later this year and have been invited to play in a mini-tournament behind closed doors at a Dublin venue in late July.
The tournament is to act as a test run for the proposed League of Ireland resumption in mid-August and also to prepare the four teams for their European ties.
The rest of the league is due to start testing on the 28th of June ahead of their training ground return the following day.
