Swiss timing

Not long remains until Cliftonville’s European fate is confirmed when the draw for the Preliminary Round of the 2019/20 Europa League takes place in Nyon, Switzerland.

Proceedings are set to get underway at 12pm tomorrow, when UEFA’s Head Of Club Competitions, Michael Heselschwerdt, will conduct the process to determine who the Reds will face in the competition’s opening phase.

Cliftonville Chairman Gerard Lawlor will be in attendance at the House of European Football and fans are advised that cliftonvillefc.net will provide instantaneous news of the draw, including a detailed guide to our opponents, while our increasingly popular Facebook, Twitter and Text Alert Services will ensure you’re kept fully up-to-speed no matter where you are!

First Leg ties are currently pencilled in for June 27 with the return games taking place on July 4 and, while all arrangements remain subject to change, supporters are urged against making any travel arrangements whatsoever until both fixtures have been officially confirmed by the Club.
