Ringmahon Rangers are heading to the midlands today.
Athlone Town make their bow in the FAI Cup this evening.
The midlanders play host to Munster League side Ringmahon Rangers.
Athlone will be hopeful of a decent campaign in the competition after watching the women's side claim an historic victory in the final last November.
Dario Castelo's side were beaten by Premier Division outfit Derry City at this stage in 2023.
On the centenary of the Town's last cup win in the men's game, the FAI have put together a commemorative video:
