After easing to Premiership glory last season, David Healy’s men will be one of 14 seeded sides in the first round of Champions League qualification with the draw set to be held on June 17.
Victory over two legs could help set the Blues up for at least a Conference League play-off as they look to follow in Larne’s footsteps by progressing into the League Phase of a major competition, and they’ll be hoping for a favourable draw.
As we await to see the outcome in a couple of weeks, here’s the potential venues Linfield could be playing at this summer.
NOTE: All venues are subject to official UEFA confirmation. Linfield could also face Dinamo Minsk, but it’s unclear where they’d be playing home European matches at this stage – they played in multiple venues last term.
13. AC Virtus (San Marino Stadium)
This is the draw which Linfield will want, certainly on the pitch anyway. Virtus are the lowest ranked team on the other side of the draw and made their European debut last term when they were beaten 11-1 on aggregate in Champions League qualifying by FCSB and lost out to Flora 5-2 in Conference League qualifying.
