Sheriff Tiraspol’s 2024–25 European campaign concluded following their third-round qualifying tie in the UEFA Conference League against Swiss side St. Gallen.

After losing the first leg 1–3 in Tiraspol on 6 August, Sheriff traveled to Switzerland for the return leg on 13 August. St. Gallen secured a 5–1 victory at the Sitterstadion, resulting in a 6–2 aggregate defeat for the Moldovan club. This loss officially eliminated Sheriff from the competition and ended their participation in European football for the season.

The elimination confirms that Moldova will have no representation in European competitions this year, as Petrocub, Zimbru, and Milsami had also been previously eliminated.
