"This Return to Watch trial for our fans is really welcome news for Irish football," said FAI Chief Executive Officer Jonathan Hill.
"The FAI has worked closely with Government and in tandem with our colleagues in the IRFU and the GAA on a phased return for fans as Covid-19 lockdown restrictions ease and we thank all involved with making this announcement possible today.
"With all our players back on the pitch from 7 June at all levels of Irish football and the trial events for the return of spectators kicking off on 11 June, we can be really optimistic about the progress being made against the challenges presented to sport by the pandemic."
Minister for Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media Catherine Martin TD said: "Sport, like culture, plays a huge part in Irish life. I know that across the country people are eager to get back to watching the sports they love.
"The lessons from these pilots will help inform a wider return for more events later in the summer.
"I also know how much our teams have missed supporters and this is a start to bringing atmosphere back to sports events."
