Celtic set for Cork City friendly in Páirc Uí Chaoimh this summer
CELTIC ARE SET to play Cork City at Páirc Uí Chaoimh in a glamour friendly this summer.
The fixture is due for 8 July and will be the third football game played at the GAA venue.
A sell-out of the 45,000-capacity stadium will prove to be a money-spinner for the League of Ireland club as well as debt-laden Cork GAA.

Figures last year showed they are in the red to the tune of €31.1million. Ironically, the development of Páirc Uí Chaoimh is a major contributor, and they also opened their doors to rugby this time last year when Munster faced Crusaders.
While this summer’s game will be part of the Scottish club’s pre-season schedule ahead of their 2025/26 campaign, it will come just three days before a Premier Division clash with Waterford for Tim Clancy’s side.
