RTÉ to broadcast Shamrock Rovers v Ferencvaros

RTÉ will broadcast live coverage of Shamrock Rovers' home and away fixtures against Hungarian champions Ferencvaros in the UEFA Europa League play-off round.

Stephen Bradley’s team, who are guaranteed a place in the Europa Conference League group stage at the very least, wrapped up a 5-2 aggregate victory over Shkupi earlier this week to set up a tie against Ferencvaros.

The SSE Airtricity League champions travel to Budapest next Thursday for the first leg (18 August) with a 5.30pm Irish time kick-off.

A week later (25 August) the Hoops welcome the Hungarians to Tallaght Stadium for the return leg, with an 8pm kick-off.

Both games will be broadcast live on RTÉ2 and RTÉ Player.

Ferencvaros were beaten 4-2 on aggregate by Qarabag in their Champions League third round qualifier.
