THE New Saints will face Slovakian side MŠK Žilina in the first qualifying round of the UEFA Europa League.
Under a new format introduced as a result of Covid-19, the tie will be played out over one leg as opposed to two.
Saints will welcome the home advantage, but face tough opposition with MŠK Žilina being the second most successful club in Slovakia.
The seven-time Slovak Super Liga winners also have history in European competitions, with a highlight being the 2010 UEFA Champions League group stage which saw them compete alongside Chelsea, Marseille and Spartak Moscow.
TNS will welcome their Slovakian opposition to Park Hall on Thursday, August 27.
