This season, the Europa Conference League final will be played at the Agia Sofia Stadium in Athens, Greece on Wednesday, May 29.

It is home to AEK Athens and can hold up to 32,500 spectators, making it the third-largest stadium in the country.

The Greek national team have used the arena in the past for their matches and they will visit three more times in 2023.

Who won last season's Europa Conference League?

West Ham were the victors of last season's Europa Conference League, beating Fiorentina in Prague last June.

The East Londoners ended their 43-year wait for a major trophy thanks to Jarrod Bowen who netted the winner late on to the delight of manager David Moyes and the travelling contingent from England.

The win earned the Hammers a place in the Europa League this season and they will be looking to go one step further than their semi-final appearance in 2021-22.
