21/02/1928 vs France.
This match was played in Paris on a Tuesday. The Irish Football Association made a conscious decision to select a team of amateurs and professionals. This is the only occasion in the minutes of the I.F.A. International Committee studied up to 1940 that a special reference was made to selecting amateurs and professionals. The professionals in this match were to be paid £2-2-0 each. The team was referred to as an international team as opposed to an amateur or junior international team.
This team cannot be accepted as an Amateur team as per paragraph 2. Scrutiny of the team itself and the unique reference to a team of amateurs and professionals would indicate that as “B” team status did not exist at this time this match can only be considered as a full International team. Incidentally the match is shown in some record books as a Republic of Ireland team.
F.I.F.A. recognise it as a full International. (link: )
