The Phibsboro venue will host the Drogs' European adventure, with the first qualifying round games scheduled to be played on the July 13 & 27.

Speaking from Dalymount Park today, club chairman Vincent Hoey expressed his thanks to Bohemians for their support and cooperation: "We expect to see a huge crowd coming from Drogheda to Dalymount Park and we're looking forward to the 'Dalymount Roar' being replaced by 'The Roar of The Drogs' . for one evening at least."
