Parc y Scarlets to host Haverfordwest's European adventure
UEFA Conference League clash to take place in Llanelli stadium PARC Y SCARLETS will once again welcome European football this summer, as Haverfordwest County AFC prepare for their latest UEFA Conference League campaign. The Llanelli-based stadium has been confirmed as the home venue for the Bluebirds' first qualifying round fixtures in the European competition. It marks another major football event for the ground, which has previously hosted Wales men's and women's internationals, most recently in 2023 when Cymru's women faced Ukraine and Kosovo in UEFA Euro 2025 qualifiers. Parc y Scarlets, the home of the Scarlets rugby team, was also the base for Llanelli AFC's European matches in 2009 and has regularly hosted domestic finals and Swansea City reserve games. Haverfordwest County secured European football for the second time in three seasons after their 3-1 victory over Caernarfon Town at the Ogi Bridge Meadow last week. They now enter the UEFA Conference League at the first qualifying round stage. The Bluebirds will find out their opponents when the draw is made at UEFA headquarters in Geneva on Tuesday, June 17. The two-legged tie is scheduled to take place on Thursday, July 10, and Thursday, 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 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.' Ticketing details will be announced in due course.

Scotland captain makes long-awaited injury comeback
Corsie replaced forward Rachel Daly, who was among the scorers in an eye-catching result that lifted Villa up to ninth in the Barclays Women's Super League table. It capped an emotional evening for the 34-year-old centre-back, who has endured a frustrating six-month spell on the sidelines. Corsie was an unused substitute in the opening game of the campaign before being ruled out for an initial eight weeks following surgery. A calf setback in January further delayed her comeback and forced her to miss Scotland's UEFA Euro 2025 play-off heartbreak against Finland and the past four UEFA Women's Nations League fixtures. Her return comes at a pivotal moment for the national side, with newly appointed head coach Melissa Andreatta set to name her first Scotland squad next month for crunch fixtures against Austria and the Netherlands. Corsie will now hope to play her way back into the international fold as she builds up fitness in the final weeks of the domestic season.

On Saturday, July 5, the team will make history when they face the Netherlands for their first game at the UEFA Euro 2025 tournament in Switzerland.

Noel Mooney, Football Association of Wales' CEO, said: "The historic qualification of Cymru for this summer's Euro 2025 brings huge opportunities, not just for the team but for our nation as a whole. "With the team putting Wales on the world stage in Switzerland, we have the potential to come together to celebrate, to challenge negative gender stereotypes and to boost participation in football at all levels.
