Bohemians are calling on all youth team coaches and players to attend their Uefa Youth League second leg tie against PAOK next month.
Craig Sexton's two-in-a-row U19 league champions will host the Greek side at Dalymount Park on Wednesday October 2 with a kick-off time of 7pm with the return leg in Greece three weeks later.
Sexton would is hoping that they can garner a big support from Bohemians partner club St Kevin's and other underage set-ups in the League of Ireland.
"Following Cork City and UCD before us, this is now the fourth successive year that our country has had a representative in this competition," said Sexton.
"That is something our league as a whole can be proud of and is the pinnacle of any player’s club career at underage level.
"It is a credit to the competitive environment of our U19 League and to the hard work being done by the coaching staff at youth level at our own club and alongside our partners at St Kevin's but also at all League of Ireland clubs to develop players and set new standards.
"We hope the Bohemians underage players and those of our partners at St Kevin's will come to the game and see it as something to aspire to.
"But it is also an occasion we wish to share with those working and playing at elite underage level at all clubs in the League of Ireland and we have today written to all clubs how to avail of free tickets for their teams."
Last season Bohs lost out 4-2 on aggregate to FC Midtjylland, but were up against a side with designs on winning the competition.
The Danish outfit subsequently knocked out giants Roma and Manchester United before bowing out against eventual winners Porto.
Former Bohs U19s/Bohs-SKB underage players Andy Lyons, Danny Grant, Paddy Kirk, Ross Tierney, Ryan Graydon and, most recently making his league debut last week, 17-year-old Dawson Devoy, have all made the step-up to first-team football at Bohemians this season and last.
Other notable graduates from our U19s include Warren O'Hora, now with Brighton, and Ali Reghba, who joined Leicester City in the summer.
