Vera Pauw has named a 27-woman squad for the games.
The Republic of Ireland Women's National Team get their 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup qualifying campaign started next week.
Vera Pauw has selected a 27-player squad for the visit of Sweden to Tallaght Stadium on Thursday, October 21st and the trip to Helsinki to take on Finland on Tuesday, October 26th.
Ireland were due to kick off their campaign last month with a game away to Georgia but that was rescheduled to June 2022, so they played an international friendly at home to Australia instead.
Now all of the focus is on getting going in Group A with all tickets already snapped up for the Sweden game, which is operating at a reduced capacity due to COVID-19 restrictions.
Injuries rule out Keeva Keenan, Claire O'Riordan, Megan Campbell, Alli Murphy, Clare Shine (ankle), Ruesha Littlejohn (foot), Isibeal Atkinson (quad) and Hayley Nolan (shoulder).
Ireland last played against Sweden in June 2008, while their most recent meeting with Finland came in June 2016.
The squad will begin their preparations for the two games on Sunday, October 17th with their first training session at the FAI National Training Centre.
