We now know who Cherries will face in the Europa League league phase. While Bournemouth will be playing all these sides competitively for the first time, Cherries On Top have found links to all eight clubs.

Among the 1,388 in attendance to see Cherries start life in Premier League 2 with a victory over Chelsea at Wimborne Town were a host of the club's former players and managers, as well as current first-team head coach Marco Rose. Development squad boss Alan Connell reflects on a special night for the club's academy.

AFC Bournemouth were six minutes away from a famous win away at Manchester City to start the season. However, Cherries fell to a late defeat instead. Where did it go wrong in Marco Rose's debut as Cherries boss?

Excitement is building for Cherries fans as their debut season in Europe approaches. It will all feel a little bit more real when the league phase draw for the Europa League is made on August 28th.

Plans are already afoot for Cherries' debut Europa League season. Soon they will have to submit their 25-man List A for the competition - but they will be unable to fill their squad despite having over 30 players around the first-team. Cherries On Top explains why.
