Penybont to play in Cardiff in Conference League
Cardiff City Stadium hosted the 2014 UEFA European Super Cup final [Huw Evans Picture Agency] Cymru Premier side Penybont will play home ties in next season's Uefa Conference League at the Cardiff City Stadium. Penybont are unable to play at their Dragonbet Stadium home because the ground does not meet Uefa specifications for European football. This will be the first time they have played European games at the home of Cardiff City.
Rhys Griffiths' team earned their European spot after a 2-0 win over Haverfordwest County in the Cymru Premier play-off final earlier this month. The draw for next season's first qualifying round takes on place on 9 June. Last season the Bridgend-based team played Lithuanian side Kauno Zalgaris across the road at the Cardiff International Stadium in the same competition.
They drew the home leg 1-1 but lost 4-1 over two legs. Two years earlier, again in the Conference League, they faced FC Santa Coloma of Andorra at Bridgend's Brewery Field, losing that tie 3-1 on aggregate.
