AFC Bournemouth will host AC Milan after their Europa League league phase draw was confirmed.
The Cherries were drawn against a club that has won the European Cup 7 times, setting up 1 of 4 home fixtures after the draw took place in Monaco earlier today.
Viktoria Plzeň, Sturm Graz and Hapoel Be'er Sheva will also come to Bournemouth, while away fixtures have been drawn against Real Sociedad, Celta Vigo, Sparta Praha and Lillestrøm during the same league phase.
The club said the published list is "not necessarily the order" of the fixtures, with match dates and kick off times due to be announced no later than Sunday 30 August.
Each of the 36 teams will play 8 different opponents once, with 4 home matches and 4 away, after AFC Bournemouth were placed in pot 3 for the Monaco draw.
A top 8 finish would send AFC Bournemouth straight into the "Round of 16", while sides finishing from 9th to 24th enter a 2 leg knockout phase play off in February.
