'Belarus have had a solid season so far and they will provide a good test for us as we build towards our first game in France,' said O'Neill of their first ever international against Belarus.

'The game, of course, will also act as a send-off for the team so I'm sure there will be a great atmosphere in the stadium, which the players will really appreciate.'

O'Neill's side, playing at their first major tournament since 1986, have been drawn alongside Poland, Ukraine and Germany.

Their final match will come in Paris against the world champions on June 21, with Ukraine, in Lyon, on June 16.

Manager Michael O'Neill, who led the minnows to their first tournament since 1986, says it will be a 'good test'
