Glentoran and Coleraine have learned the identity of their opponents in the UEFA Europa League Preliminary Round.
 
In today's draw at UEFA headquarters the Glens were drawn at home to Faroese opponents HB Tórshavn while the Bannsiders will host La Fiorita from San Marino.
 
Both ties will be single one-off games played behind closed doors on Thursday 20th August, although exact details have yet to be confirmed.
 
HB are no strangers to Northern Ireland, having played Linfield in last season's Europa League, losing 3-2 on aggregate while La Fiorita have also visited these shores in recent seasons, again coming up against the Blues and again losing by just one goal over two legs (1-0).
