LAST UPDATE | 18 Jun
SHAMROCK ROVERS WILL play Vikingur Reykjavik in the first round of qualifying for the Champions League.
This is the second year in a row the League of Ireland champions have been drawn against an Icelandic side.
Vikingur Reykjavik are currently leading the Iceland league, ahead of Breidablik – who knocked Rovers out last season.
It is a tough draw for Stephen Bradley’s team – Vikingur Reykjavik have won eight of their 10 league games to date in Iceland this season and lost only once.
Rovers have said dates and times have yet to be confirmed by Uefa, but it is expected the games will take place in mid July. Vikingur Reykjavik will play at home first.
🇮🇸 We have been drawn to play the first leg away however dates, times & venues will be confirmed by UEFA in due course

Should the Dublin side progress to the second round then they would be guaranteed a third round Europa League qualifying tie as well as a playoff for the Conference League.
In the Europa Conference League, both Shelbourne and Derry City have been drawn against opponents from Gibraltar. Shelbourne will face St Joseph’s FC while Derry City will take on FC Magpies.
In the Gibraltar Football League which concluded last month, St Joseph’s finished second in the table, eight points ahead of third-placed FC Magpies.
St Patrick’s Athletic will enter the draw at the second round.
