The Conference League participants had to be patient. Unlike usual, the draw for the first round in Nyon did not take place at lunchtime, but the evening before. At least the circle of possible opponents had already been narrowed down that morning.
Group 2: Déifferdeng 03, the only Luxembourg club seeded, could hope for an “easier” draw in this regard. It would go to Finland (Ilves Tampere), Ireland (Bohemian FC), Iceland (Stjarnan), Northern Ireland (Glentoran FC) or Wales (Caernarfon Town FC). Ultimately, chance decided that D03 enjoyed home advantage against Ilves in the first leg. A week later, on July 16th, the second leg will take place away. By the way: Ilves means lynx in Finnish. There have never been duels against Luxembourg teams.
