Dundalk will face a trip to Albania or Azerbaijan in the second qualifying round of the Champions League, should they defeat Riga FC.
Following yesterday’s first round qualifying draw, the draw for the second round took place today at UEFA’s headquarters in Switzerland.
Should Dundalk defeat the Latvian champions in the first round, either Partizani of Albania or Qarabağ from Azerbaijan will provide the opposition.
Qarabağ have a strong European record in recent seasons, qualifying for the group stages of the Champions League in 2017-8, and for the group stages of the Europa League in every other season since 2014-5.
Dundalk or Riga would have home advantage in the first leg on July 23 or 24, before the return leg on July 30/31.
Scottish champions Celtic, should they overcome Sarajevo, will face either Nõmme Kalju (Estonia) or Shkëndija (North Macedonia), with the first leg at home.
