Shamrock Rovers

Current form
Shamrock Rovers started in European competitions with the Champions League qualification, but could not break the resistance of Sparta Prague and went to conquer the Europa League. However, it was not possible to pass the PAOK, and thus the club competes in the UEFA Conference League.

In the last season of the domestic championship, Stephen Bradley's team took second place in the standings, two points behind the first Shelbourne, and thus secured their place in the qualification for the third most important European tournament.
