Shelbourne to open Conference League campaign against Swedish side while Shamrock Rovers travel to Sparta Prague
Shelbourne manager Joey O'Brien and his squad can start planning for some big nights in Dublin and across Europe.
Shelbourne will start their maiden Conference League campaign at home to Swedish outfit Hacken on Thursday, October 2, while Shamrock Rovers will kick off with a difficult away day against Sparta Prague.
The Irish clubs learned the crucial order of fixtures this evening, with Uefa needing time to work around broadcasting needs and other logistical concerns before finalising the schedule arising from Friday’s draw.
