✦AI Summary
Shelbourne FC has advanced to the UEFA Conference League third round to face Ajax, despite a loss in their second-leg match against Kalju. The club faces internal challenges, including a difficult domestic season and recent management turnover.
Shelbourne will become only the second Irish club to play Ajax in competitive European football, bridging a 39-year gap to when Dundalk welcomed a Johan Cruyff-managed side that included Frank Stapleton to Oriel Park in 1987.
