Bohemians, Sligo and Dundalk learn potential European Conference League fate ahead of Tuesday's draw

Bohemians may be in line for a potential European reunion with Welsh kingpins TNS in tomorrow’s Europa Conference League draw.

The Gypsies have been pitted in a pot including TNS, Icelandic side Stjarnan, Maltese outfit Gzira United and Gibraltarian side Europa FC.  

Bohs faced TNS in the 2010 Champions League qualifiers – and took a one-nil lead to Wales after seeing them off by a goal to nil at Dalymount Park.

But calamity struck Bohs away from home as they succumbed to a heavy 4-0 defeat – and crashed out of Europe.

Liam Buckley’s Sligo Rovers also learned their potential European fate – with four sides lying in waiting for the Bit O’ Red.

Rovers may face one of Slask Wroclaw (Poland), FH Hafnarfjordur (Iceland), KI Klaksvik (Faroe Islands) or Bala Town (Wales).

FH and KI Klaksvik have both played Sligo’s top-flight rivals Dundalk in recent seasons in European competition.

FH took on Dundalk on the Lilywhites in 2016 as the then Stephen Kenny managed side reached the Group Stages of the Europa League.

The Oriel Park outfit – like Bohs and Sligo – may also face a trip to Wales, with a potential tie against Newtown AFC.

They may also face Finnish side FK Honka Espoo, Malta’s Mosta FC, Racing FC Union Letzebuerg of Luxembourg or Macedonian side FC Struga.  



The draw for the three teams begins at 12.30pm on Tuesday afternoon and will be live on UEFA’s website.
