Glentoran boss Kim Turner echoed Foy’s sentiments, stating that the squad is “as strong” as the side has “ever taken into Europe”.
“I’m very happy with the strength and ability of the squad we’re taking to Cyprus this week,” she said.
“The players we’ve brought in and the younger players we’ve promoted from the academy sides, they have all come in and performed very well this season.”
Turner continued: “We played this format of qualifiers when it was first introduced two years ago, so we know how big the challenge is ahead of us and we are all looking forward to it.”
Should the Glens progress past Mura in their mini tournament semi-final they will play the winners of the other semi-final between Apollon or Pyunik for a place in the second qualifying round.
Mura have won the Slovenian league in each of the past four years and twice reached the round of 32 in the old format of the Champions League.
