Shamrock Rovers will face Chelsea, APOEL, Rapid Vienna, New Saints, Borac and Larne in the Europa Conference League
The League of Ireland champions have landed a glamour clash with the Premier League giants in the league phase of the Europa Conference League .
UEFA will confirm the fixtures on Saturday, with an additional €400k on offer for each win in that league phase and €133k for every draw. “You think about the Tottenham-Rovers group stage game at White Hart Lane in 2011, and the 5,000 or 6,000 Rovers fans who travelled over. Coady continued: “Nowadays Chelsea are throwing money around like confetti and I’m not sure if that’s the most successful way to run a business.
They have €3.6 million banked to this point with the carrot of that extra €400,000 per league phase win, and €133,000 draw. “It would be great if Rovers could get back into the title race at home, but qualifying for Europe next season is the be all and end all.
