Shamrock Rovers have received the green light to use Tallaght Stadium should they participate in the Europa Conference League group stages.

The Hoops are 4-0 down following the first leg of their Europa League play-off against Hungarian champions Ferencvaros. The second leg takes place at Tallaght on Thursday night.

Should Stephen Bradley's men fail to secure victory, they still have the safety net of the Europa Conference League group stages.

The Premier Division leaders confirmed the news via a statement;

“Uefa has approved Shamrock Rovers’ application to host home games at Tallaght Stadium should we participate in the 2022/23 Uefa Europa Conference League Group Stage.

“This is the outcome that our supporters and all at Shamrock Rovers F.C. were hoping for, and while the club will need to take on the cost of additional measures required to comply with Uefa Category 4 Stadium requirements, it’s a price worth paying to deliver on that wish.

“Following the completion of the SDCC works on the North Stand and modifications to the Main Stand, the stadium will be Category 4 compliant without additional works from 2023.

"We are grateful for the support of the FAI, in particular the Chief Security Officer/Match Operations Manager, Joe McGlue and SDCC in the application process."
