Shamrock Rovers, despite a recent Europa League setback, will face English Premier League giants Chelsea in the Conference League group stage. The Irish club, despite their 6-0 aggregate loss to PAOK in the Europa League playoffs, secured a spot in the Conference League, a competition they last participated in 2022. The Conference League group stage consists of six matches, and Shamrock Rovers were drawn against Chelsea, a formidable opponent. The match will see the Irish side travel to Stamford Bridge, bringing back memories of their Europa League matches against Tottenham in 2011. This matchup presents a challenging opportunity for Shamrock Rovers to test themselves against one of Europe’s top clubs.
