Team Ireland will fly to Stockholm later this week, to take on Sweden in a dual-nations on May 9th<\/p>\n
Team Ireland last travelled there in 2019, to mark the Swedish federation\u2019s 100th\u00a0anniversary. On that occasion, Sweden were the 3-2 winners.<\/p>\n
This team is comprised of members of the High Performance Pathway Programme and an U20 selection, nominated by Central Council.<\/p>\n
Head of Delegation, Boxing Ireland President, Anto Donnelly\u00a0says \u201cThis is an important event, as it\u2019s the first time Central Council and High Performance have fielded a joint team. Aside from the evident development and progression opportunities, it is a mark of the strength of our relationship. Congratulations to all boxers, their clubs and families, on their selection to represent Ireland. I\u2019m delighted to lead Team Ireland in Stockholm and I look forward to a superb day of boxing\u201d<\/p>\n
High Performance Director, Jon Mackey\u00a0says \u201cTaking on Sweden in an International is an excellent opportunity for athletes on the High Performance Pathway Programme, and this kind of event is exactly why the pathway programme was initially formed \u2013 to provide international competition opportunities to high potential athletes. We\u2019re proud to partner with Central Council to include an U20s selection in the team, and jointly provide important developmental experiences to athletes on the cusp of transition to Elite boxing.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Swedish federation will live-stream the International on it\u2019s YouTube channel from 1.50pm on Saturday afternoon, Irish time.<\/p>\n
