Republic of Ireland Under-17 Head Coach Colin O'Brien on Monday announced his roster for the 2019 European U17 Championship which begins in Ireland on May 3.
Three players confirmed to have Nigerian blood flowing in their veins have been named in the 19-man group.
They are Manchester City duo Gavin Bazunu and Timi Sobowale, and Derby County midfielder Festy Ebsoele.
Bazunu and Ebosele are making a return to the U17 squad after they were called up to join the U21 and U19 team respectively during the last international break.
Ireland have been placed in Group A and will take on Belgium, Czech Republic and Greece.
The 2019 U17 EURO acts as the UEFA qualifiers for the FIFA U17 World Cup and the top five teams of the tournament will qualify for the tournament in Brazil as the UEFA representatives.
Chelsea star Victor Moses won the top scorer award at the 2007 European U17 Championship.
