Where is the 2021 Europa League final being played?

The final will be played at the Stadion Miejski in Gdansk, Poland.

The game was due to be played at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan Stadium in Seville, Spain, but hosting rights were pushed back 12 months due to the coronavirus pandemic. The final will be held in Spain in 2022.

The ground, which opened in 2011, is the home of Lechia Gdansk and was one of the host venues for Euro 2012.

When does the match kick off?

The match kicks off on Wednesday, May 26, at 21:00 local time (20:00 BST/15:00 ET/12:00 PT).

Who is in the final?

Manchester United beat AS Roma 8-5 on aggregate, while Villarreal edged past Arsenal 2-1 over two legs.

Will there be fans at the final?

The Stadion Miejski has a capacity of 41,620, but coronavirus restrictions mean only a "limited number" of fans will be allowed to attend.

Just under 10,000 fans will have tickets, with 1,900 available for each team that reaches the final.

A UEFA statement read: "The Polish authorities have confirmed to UEFA a capacity of 25% of the stadium or up to 9,500 spectators.

"Supporters from abroad will have to comply with border entry restrictions and requirements that will be in force at the time of the final as no exemptions will be granted to ticket holders.

"Access to the stadium will be granted in line with the applicable local legislation, which is to be confirmed by the local authorities during this week and may include the need for proof of a vaccine or a negative COVID-19 test result."

Who is the referee?

The UEFA Referees Committee has yet to select the final referee.
