Two sporting legends to meet and greet Irish fans at USA '94 commemoration events

Sportsmen Steve Staunton and Paul McGrath are set to headline special events in Limerick and Cork

Two football legends will be transporting Irish fans back in time as they recall firsthand accounts, behind-the-scenes tales, and insightful reflections on their incredible journey in the United States.

Sporting legend Paul McGrath and former Ireland boss Steve Staunton will headline special events in Limerick and Cork to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the USA 94 World Cup.

Under the guidance of the late Jack Charlton, the players played pivotal roles in Ireland's memorable campaign during the 1994 FIFA World Cup.

The event, scheduled for June 7 and 8, aims to pay tribute to the enduring impact of USA 94 on Irish football and serve as a celebration of Jackie's Army, a term coined for the national team during that era.

Attendees will have the chance to engage with Mr McGrath and Mr Staunton during a meet and greet session, followed by a Q&A with both the host and the audience.

Tickets for this event go on sale this Friday, February 9, at 10am from host websites.
