Premier League club West Ham have been drawn against Andorran minnows FC Lusitans in the first qualifying round of the Europa League, after the draw was made in Nyon, Switzerland, on Monday.

The East Londoners, who finished 12th in the Premier League last season, qualified via the Fair Play rule and will feature in Europe for the first time in nine years.

The Hammers' last European campaign -- in 2006/07 -- ended prematurely as they were beaten 4-0 on aggregate by Italian side Palermo in the first round.

West Ham, though, do have a European trophy to their name having lifted the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup in 1964/65 following victory over 1860 Munich in the final.

This year's opponents Lusitans last featured on the European stage in a 2013/14 Champions League qualifier when they lost 7-3 on aggregate to EB/Streymur of the Faroe Islands.

The side featuring an array of Portuguese immigrants play in the eight-team Primera Divisio -- Andorra's top flight.

New West Ham boss Slaven Bilic's first game in charge will be the first leg in Andorra on July 2, with the return leg a week later at the Boleyn Ground on July 9.

The Hammers will need to get through four qualifying rounds to make it into the Europa League group stages; Birkirkara of Malta or Armenia's Ulisses will be second qualifying round opponents, should the Premier League side progress.
