Linfield will play a team from San Marino in the UEFA Champions League preliminary round semi-finals following today's draw in Switzerland.
 
The game will take place behind closed doors on Saturday, 8th August in Nyon with the winners of the one-off tie facing either the champions of Andorra or Kosovo three days later for a place in the first qualifying round.
 
The Blues' exact opponents aren't yet known with the Sammarinese authorities having until August 3rd to nominate a side.
 
Linfield have faced a side from the landlocked microstate before, defeating La Fiorita 1-0 on aggregate three seasons ago.
