Dundalk face difficult trip in Champions League qualifier

Dundalk will meet Slovenian champions NK Celje in the first qualifying round of the Champions Legaue.

Dundalk have been drawn away to Slovenian champions  NK Celje in the first qualifying round of the Champions League - though the tie may take place at a neutral venue.

Because Slovenia is not on the Government's 'green list' of countries where travel is allowed without restrictions, the tie could take place in Italy, Hungary, Greece or perhaps Hungary. The Slovenian can nominate a neutral venue in a country where Irish citizens can travel freely without Covid-19 restrictions.
