A LEAGUE ONE club will host Uefa Conference League games this season.
Welsh side The New Saints (TNS) are set to feature in the tournament for the first this season after winning their play-off against Lithuanian side FK Panevėžys 3-0 on aggregate.
But their home games are to be moved from Park Hall, which is just inside the English border.
Instead TNS will travel 20 miles south-east to League One side Shrewsbury, who play at the 9,875 capacity Croud Meadow.
TNS kick things off against Astana on October 4, before Djurgården visit on November 28.
Their final home group game is against Panathinaikos on December 12 and the two clubs are excited to announce their new partnership.

TNS Chairman Mike Harris said: “We’d like to thank Shrewsbury Town for allowing us to host these historic matches at the Croud Meadow.
“We are hopeful the community will come out in full force to support The New Saints as we face some of the continent’s biggest clubs.
“Being so close to our Park Hall home will mean that supporters from Oswestry, Mid Wales, and North Wales can travel to cheer on the team.”
TNS are the first Cymru Premier side to feature in the group stages of a European competition after winning the league last season and qualifying via a play-off.
