Following on from Olympiacos’ shock victory over Fiorentina to win the UEFA Conference League title in Athens last season, we at SportsCasting are taking a look at where the 2024/25 final will be played.
Where Is The 2024/25 Conference League Final Being Played?
Stadion Wrocław – Wrocław, Poland
The 2024/25 UEFA Conference League final will be held at the 45,105-capacity Stadion Wrocław in Wrocław, Poland. It is currently the largest stadium in the Polish top flight and is the home of two-time Polish champions Śląsk Wrocław.
This season’s edition of the Conference League will mark the fourth season since its inception, but unlike previous seasons, it will employ the brand new Swiss-system format, as will the Champions League and the Europa League.
Olympiacos defied the odds to lift the 2023/24 Conference League title, defeating Serie A side Fiorentina 1-0 to become the first Greek club to ever win a European trophy, and they did so at the Agia Sophia Stadium, the home of their rivals, AEK Athens.
Teams that will compete in this season’s inaugural league phase are yet to have been finalised, with teams currently battling it out in the competition’s qualifying rounds. Several British sides are in contention for a league phase position, including the likes of Chelsea, The New Saints, Kilmarnock, Hearts, and Larne.
When Is The 2024/25 Conference League Final?
The 2024/25 UEFA Conference League final will be played on May 28th, 2025, and the match is scheduled to kick-off at 8pm UK time.
