Aviva to host Bohs' European clash with Stjarnan FC

Aviva Stadium is to host Bohemians’s European clash with Stjarnan FC of Iceland.

Mirror Sport revealed last month that the Dublin 4 venue was being lined up as a home venue for one of the four League of Ireland teams in Europe as a test event for the return of fans.

And a joint Bohs and FAI statement today read: “Bohemian FC and the Football Association of Ireland can confirm that the second leg of the club’s UEFA Europa Conference League first qualifying round tie with Stjarnan FC of Iceland will take place at the Aviva Stadium on Thursday, July 15th, with a 7.45pm kick-off.

“Further details on stadium capacity and ticketing will be made available in due course.”

The statement concluded: “We will not be in a position to make any further comment until those details are finalised.

A successful test event at the Aviva is vital for when Ireland fans are expected to return for the home World Cup qualifiers against Azerbaijan and Serbia in early September.
