Wolves have found out who they will face in their first foray into European competition for 39 years.

Nuno Espirito Santo will see his side face either Crusaders from Northern Ireland or B36 Torshavn from the Faroe Islands.

The side who finished seventh in the Premier League will play the first leg of the tie at Molineux before tackling the away leg a week later.

Wolves will know which of the two sides they will face on Thursday 18th July.

The West Midlands-based outfit were impressive during their maiden campaign back in the Premier League last season.

They romped to the Championship title during 2017/18, but even the most ardent of Wolves supporters could have placed European football on the agenda so soon.

The prospect of a European affair has excited the club’s supporters.
