The New Saints’ progress in the Europa Conference League presents a “fantastic opportunity” to boost the profile of the Cymru Premier.
Saints have become the first club from Wales’ top-flight Cymru Premier to reach the group phase of a European competition.
Craig Harrison’s side will take on Fiorentina, Djurgarden, Astana, Shamrock Rovers, Panathinaikos and Celje in the group stage.
“It’s a superb achievement for a JD Cymru Premier club to get to this stage of the competition,” Football Association of Wales’ head of domestic football Jack Sharp told BBC Sport Wales.
“To be able to fly the flag for another six games up until Christmas is absolutely phenomenal.
“The exposure the league is going to get from a club competing with real titans of European football is just a fantastic opportunity.
“I’m really looking forward to these next three months ahead.
“It’s going to be a great opportunity to go and do some learnings off other big clubs in Europe and use it as an aspirational tool for our clubs and TNS in particular.
“Let’s see what we can do – can we cause a little bit of damage on the pitch? Can we play that underdog role and see what happens?
“We’re in it now and we’re all very proud of the club.”
