  • Chelsea host Shamrock Rovers at Stamford Bridge on December 19.

Shamrock Rovers, established in 1899, is Ireland's oldest and most successful football club, based in Dublin. Known as "The Hoops" due to their green and white striped jerseys, the club has a rich history with 20 League of Ireland titles, the most recent being in 2023, and six FAI Cups. They have also made their mark in European competitions, notably reaching the quarter-finals of the European Cup in 1963-64. The club has faced financial difficulties in the past, including a period of decline in the 1980s, but has since recovered, becoming a dominant force in Irish football again. They are set to face Chelsea in the UEFA Conference League, marking a significant moment as they compete against one of England's top clubs. This match not only highlights their resurgence but also their ambition to make an impact on the European stage.
