Bohemians' UEFA Europa Conference League second leg with Stjarnan has been moved to the Aviva Stadium. 

The Gypsies are due to play host to the Icelandic side on Thursday July 15.

The game will mark Bohs' first time to play at the renovated Lansdowne Road venue.

Keith Long's side will play the away leg on July 8, with a kick-off time of 8.45pm.

The club say "further details on stadium capacity and ticketing will be made available in due course".

The number of fans permitted to attend live matches increases on July 5 from 100 to 200. However, 500 will be allowed in a venue capable of hosting 5,000 or more.

Should the Bohemians game with Stjarnan be granted status as a pilot event for the safe return of crowds, then the number of fans through the Aviva turnstiles could drastically increase.

It was confirmed earlier this week that 3,000 fans will be allowed to attend Ireland's rugby international with Japan on July 3, with that number doubling for the following week's visit of the United States.

Bohemians are currently in a rich vein of form. Georgie Kelly's eleventh goal of the season was enough for them to beat Dublin rivals Shamrock Rovers on Monday night.

They'll hope to stretch their unbeaten run to six matches on Saturday when they make the trip to Sligo Rovers.
