The Irish Premier League has become an important stage in European football this season. Larne, Coleraine, Linfield and Glentoran will fight to qualify for the groups in the UEFA Europa Conference League this year. In 2024, only Inver Reds managed to advance to the group stage of European cups. This year, these four teams will take the field to write a new history.
After winning the league title in three of the last four years, Larne will start their European adventure with a Champions League qualifying match against Tre Fiori in San Marino. This match will be played on July 7 and will be followed by the rematch at home the following week. Tre Fiori, which won the San Marino league by one point last season, lost eleven players this summer and transferred eight new players. Larne will take to the field with confidence, keeping fresh the memory of Linfield advancing to the next round with a 2-0 win over Tre Fiori in 2020.
Inver Reds have been competing in Europe for the last six years and managed to qualify for the European Conference League by beating Lincoln Red Imps two seasons ago. "Our players want to have that experience again. Every single game is a big event and an important moment in our club's history. You try to create history at every step in Europe and Larne have done that quite well," said manager Gary Haveron.
Coleraine have had the chance to compete in Europe since 2018 and will take part in the UEFA Europa Conference League this year, finishing second in the league. The team's coach, Ruaidhri Higgins, aims to surpass HJK Helsinki with his new transfers Conor McMenamin and Jay Henderson. HJK Helsinki is in fifth place in the Finnish league and is the team that has scored the second most goals this season. "We have good preparation time on our hands. It's a new experience for us, but we will give this match the necessary respect," Higgins explained.
What happens next
Larne will start their European adventure with the Champions League qualifying match against Tre Fiori in San Marino on July 7. After this match, they aim to increase their chances of qualifying for the groups with the rematch they will play at home. Other Irish clubs will similarly focus on their struggles in Europe and try to strengthen their squads in this summer transfer window.
