The <strong>Irish<\/strong> then overcame the <strong>Celje<\/strong>, despite being defeated 1-0 away from home, since they achieved a 3-1 extra-time victory at home and so progressed to the <strong>Europa League Play Offs<\/strong>. The team is based in <strong>Tallaght, South Dublin<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Shamrock Rovers<\/strong> were founded in the <strong>Dublin<\/strong> neighborhood of <strong>Ringstead<\/strong> in 1899 or 1901 according to other sources. The club&#8217;s name comes from <strong>Shamrock Avenue<\/strong> in <strong>Ringsted<\/strong>. They won the league at the club&#8217;s first attempt during the 1922\u201323 season and became the most successful club in <strong>Ireland<\/strong> until 1949, with 44 trophies. During the 1950s the team won three league titles and two Irish Cups, becoming the first Irish team to compete in European competition, competing in the <strong>Champions Cup<\/strong> in 1957.<\/li>\n<li>The team played at <strong>Glenmalure Park<\/strong> from 1926 until 1987, when the owners suddenly sold the ground to an estate agency. <strong>Shamrock Rovers<\/strong> spent the next 22 years playing at various grounds in the <strong>Dublin<\/strong> area and less frequently in <strong>Ireland<\/strong>. They moved to <strong>Tallaght Stadium<\/strong> before the start of the 2009 season after years of postponements and legal wrangling, during which the club&#8217;s supporters saved it from disbanding due to financial problems.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Samrock Rovers<\/strong> have consistently fed the <strong>Irish<\/strong> national team with players, with a total of <strong>64,<\/strong> more than any other club, having represented<strong> Ireland<\/strong> that were on their books.<\/li>\n<li>The club&#8217;s emblem combines a soccer ball and a shamrock. In 2005 a star was added above the badge for the first ten League of Ireland titles won by the club. Black became the team&#8217;s third official color in recognition of the loss of <strong>Glenmalure Park.<\/strong> They play in green and white striped jerseys.<\/li>\n<li>Their main rivals are <strong>Bohemians.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>2009<\/strong> was a pivotal year for the team. It started with the completion of the new stadium and ended with second place and qualification to the <strong>Europa League<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>In <strong>2023, Shamrock Rovers<\/strong> won the league title again, equaling the club&#8217;s record of four in a row in the 1980s. However, the team&#8217;s European performance was disappointing, losing to <strong>Iceland&#8217;s Breidapl\u00edk<\/strong> in the <strong>Champions League<\/strong> qualifiers and the <strong>Hungarian<\/strong> champion <strong>Ferencvaros<\/strong> in the <strong>Europa League<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Their most fanatical fans are the <strong>SRFC Ultras<\/strong>, with links to other <strong>European<\/strong> clubs including <strong>Roma, Hammarby<\/strong> and <strong>Panathinaikos<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Shamrock<\/strong> has again found <strong>PAOK<\/strong> in their path in the group stage of the <strong>Europa League<\/strong> in <strong>2011,<\/strong> when they were defeated twice (1-2, 1-3) by <strong>PAOK<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Shamrock Rovers<\/strong> have a long history in <strong>Europe.<\/strong> In the 1957\u201358 season they were the first League of Ireland team to enter European competition. On 25 August 2011, they became the first <strong>Irish<\/strong> team to qualify for the <strong>UEFA Europa League<\/strong> group stage when they defeated <strong>Partizan Belgrade<\/strong> 2\u20131 after extra time in <strong>Serbia<\/strong> (3\u20132 aggregate win).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"PAOK faces the most successful club in the Republic of Ireland in the Europa League Play Offs.
