Bit O'Red are hopeful of upgrading the Showgrounds to meet Uefa requirements for the third qualifying round of the Europa Conference League.

While Pat’s have been forced to move from their home at Richmond Park in order to meet Uefa’s Category Three stadium requirements for this stage of European competition, Sligo have yet to finalise the home venue for their clash with Viking. Uefa have confirmed the venue for the Saints’ second leg on their website, with the game taking place at 7.45pm on 11 August, seven days after they travel to Bulgaria for the first leg. ST PATRICK’S ATHLETIC will play the home leg of their Europa Conference League third-round qualifying tie with CSKA Sofia at Tallaght Stadium, while Sligo Rovers remain hopeful of staying in The Showgrounds for the visit of Viking Stavanger.
