Parc y Scarlets will host European football once again this summer.

The home of the Scarlets has been confirmed as the home venue for Haverfordwest County AFC’s upcoming UEFA Conference League matches.

The Parc has a proud history of hosting top-level football with the Wales men’s and women’s national teams having played internationals there, most recently last year when Cymru’s women’s team took on Ukraine and Kosovo in qualifiers for Euro 2025.

The stadium was the home for Llanelli AFC’s European challenge in 2009 and has also hosted domestic Welsh Cup finals and Swansea City’s reserve team games.

The Bluebirds clinched a second European qualification in three years when they beat Caernarfon Town 3-1 at the Ogi Bridge Meadow last week and the Pembrokeshire club will now enter the UEFA Conference League at the first qualifying round stage.

Haverfordwest’s opponents will be revealed when the draw takes place at UEFA headquarters in Geneva on June 17 with the tie scheduled across two legs on July 10 and July 17. 

Scarlets Managing Director Jon Daniels said: “We are immensely proud of the facilities we have here at Parc y Scarlets and are thrilled to be hosting Tony Pennock and his Haverfordwest team at the stadium for such an important fixture.

“We have hosted high-profile international, European and domestic matches since the Parc was opened in 2008 and the team here are looking forward to being part of Haverfordwest’s European adventure in the UEFA Conference League this summer.”

Ticketing information will be confirmed at a later date.
