Dundalk will face Derry City and Bohemians in friendly fixtures at Oriel Park as the reigning league champions prepare for a return to competitive action in the SSE Airtricity League.
The games against their fellow European qualifiers will take place behind closed doors, adhering to all government guidelines regarding the Covid-19 pandemic.
A statement from the club confirmed that no media would be allowed to attend, adding that "after five months without football, we fully understand that people are craving live action again but strict protocols have been put in place and we kindly ask everyone to adhere to them".
The statement continued: "We have received the FAI’s Safer Return to Football protocols and have started working towards the implementation of these guidelines, which includes press accreditation, for the league restart on July 31st.
"We are currently exploring the possibility of streaming the upcoming friendlies. If this goes ahead, we will happily provide a link to members of the media upon request."
