CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE Welcome to the SSE Airtricity League guide to Irish clubs in European competitions ahead of the start of the 2017/18 UEFA Champions League and Europa League season. This guide has all the necessary statistics and facts you will need to cover the SSE Airtricity League clubs’ journey in Europe this campaign and I’d like to thank Michael Hayes in the FAI Competitions Department for creating this guide. Each season, we all look forward to seeing our clubs compete in European competition and last season definitely didn’t disappoint. Dundalk grabbed the headlines across the continent for their exploits in the UEFA Champions League and Europa League. Stephen Kenny managed his side through difficult ties against FH Hafnarfjordur and BATE Borisov to lead the Lilywhites to the UEFA Champions League play-offs against Legia Warsaw. After a valiant display in Warsaw, they were narrowly beaten on aggregate but still qualified for the Europa League group stages. Great results against AZ Alkmaar and Maccabi Tel Aviv followed and the run in Europe showed the very best of domestic Irish football. Whilst Dundalk grabbed the headlines, Cork City also enjoyed a successful run in the Europa League. Wins over Linfield and Swedish Cup winners BK Hacken set up a third qualifying round tie against Genk. They were narrowly beaten by the Belgian side who went on to reach the quarter-finals of the competition. Looking ahead to this season, it’ll be great to see Derry City back in European competition, a club with a proud tradition in European competition. Shamrock Rovers will also fly the flag in Europe this season and we hope to see all of our clubs maximise their potential in the competitions this campaign. Finally, I’d like to thank the members of the media who continue to support our clubs at home and abroad in Europe. Your coverage is hugely appreciated and I hope you enjoy witnessing our clubs in Europe in the 2017/18 season.
