The Candystripes formally applied to Uefa and the FAI for permission to stage the return leg on August 17th at Windsor Park as the Ryan McBride Brandywell Stadium fails to meet the criteria to host a third-round fixture. The home of Shamrock Rovers was the original venue nominated by Derry to host games beyond the second round before the Conference League qualifying stages got under way this summer.
However, the club this week approached the FAI and Uefa about the possibility of switching to Windsor Park to avoid an almost eight-hour round trip for supporters for the second leg.
