All you need to know about the UEFA Europa League final at Friends Arena
The countdown has begun for the distinguished UEFA Europa League final at Friends Arena, and the meticulous preparations are now entering a final stage. About 48,000 football lovers from around the world are expected to enter the stadium on May 24 to see Ajax and Manchester United fight for victory.
“We have been planning for this moment for almost two years, and much of our focus now at the final stage is, of course, on the Friends Arena venue and the logistics surrounding it,” says Göran Havik, project manager for the UEFA Europa League final at the Swedish Football Association.
Together with the World Cup in 1958, the European Championships in 1992, the Women’s World Cup in 1995 and the UEFA Women’s Euro Final in 2013 at Friends Arena, the UEFA Europa League final is the largest international football event ever hosted by Sweden. The UEFA Europa League event also coincides with the fifth anniversary of the stadium.
“We are very enthusiastic about displaying Friends Arena, Solna and Stockholm for the rest of the world in this attractive context,” says Marie Lindqvist, Managing Director of Friends Arena.
