Cliftonville will be playing European football next season.

Though the Reds retain a mathematical hope of a Champions League berth, a welcome return to the UEFA Conference League is the more likely prospect – however the precise details of our participation will not be confirmed for another month.

For while second and third place in this season’s Sports Direct Premiership carry entry to the first qualifying round, winning the Clearer Water Irish Cup presents a bye to the second phase.

The draws for both stages are scheduled to take place in mid-June, and the matches themselves are pencilled in for July 11/18 and July 25/August 1, with supporters advised that cliftonvillefc.net‘s detailed guide to all the runners and riders will be online in early May to ensure the Red Army remain ahead of the game when it comes to the inside line on all of our potential opponents.
