Ireland qualify for U19 European Championship with a game to spare in elite qualifying round

Ireland are the first team to join hosts Armenia at this summers Under-19 European Championship after qualifying this afternoon with a game to spare.

Tom Mohan's side enjoyed a second win in the Elite Qualifying Round with a 3-1 win over Azerbaijan, and coupled with Russia's 0-0 draw with Romania, means that Ireland qualify automatically.

The win over Azerbaijan comes after Ireland thrashed Romania 5-0 in their opening game of this month's round.

Mick McCarthy promises to entertain Ireland fans in EURO 2020 campaign before Stephen Kenny takes over  

Mohan's men previously defeated Netherlands, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Faroe Islands to qualify for the final round.

The tournament will take place in June.
