Cardiff City will host a friendly game against Cork City on Tuesday, July 14th, at Munster FA Turners Cross, with kickoff scheduled for 7.45 pm. This will be the first meeting between the two clubs. Cardiff City FC is managed by former Cork City player Brian Barry-Murphy, son of legendary Cork All-Ireland-winning Hurler and Gaelic Footballer Jimmy Barry-Murphy. Brian recently led Cardiff to the EFL Championship by securing automatic promotion with a second-place finish in League One in his first year in charge of the club. Brian Barry-Murphy played for Cork City FC between 1995 and 1999 before moving to Preston North End and Sheffield Wednesday and then spending the majority of his career at Bury. Brian finished his career at Rochdale, a club he later went on to manage between 2019 and 2021, before coaching under Pep Guardiola at Manchester City and eventually becoming First Team Head Coach at Cardiff City FC. The match will be the first-ever meeting between Cork City FC and Cardiff City FC. Cork City have previously played Welsh clubs including Wrexham and Swansea City in friendly fixtures, while the club also enjoyed victory against Cwmbran Town AFC in 1993 in the then European Cup competition. Cork City FC looks to continue their fine form, sitting 12 points clear in the League of Ireland First Division while testing themselves against strong Championship opposition. Éanna Buckley, Chief Operating Officer of Cork City FC, said, “We are delighted to welcome Cardiff City FC to Cork, and in particular Brian, back to where it all began for him here at Turners Cross. We would also like to congratulate Cardiff City on their recent promotion to the Championship. The match is sure to be a competitive fixture and a great test for both sides.” Tickets are in line with standard match day pricing for adults, children and seniors and are available at www.corkcityfc.ie.
