How to get last-minute tickets to see West Ham in Europa Conference League Final 2023
Stop – Hammer time! West Ham are taking on Italian side Fiorentina at the Europa Conference League Final this June. There's still a chance to get tickets so here's everything you need to know.
We’re so close to the start of this year’s European football finals and boy, have we got some good matches in store. With Man City vs Inter Milan, Roma vs Sevilla and West Ham vs Fiorentina, the stadiums of Europe are going to light up with excitement at the culmination of these epic tournaments.
But while the Champions League Final is bound for Turkey and the Europa League is heading to Hungary, the West Ham fans will have to travel a little less far for the Europa Conference League Final this June.
Taking place in Czechia, the Conference League Final will see the London side take on Fiorentina for the chance to win the trophy and a spot in next year’s Europa League. For both teams this is their only chance at playing European football next season, so we can expect a fierce clash.
Last year, the Conference League was won by Roma in a match against Dutch team, Feyenoord, while English side Leicester City lost out in the semi-finals. This year, West Ham have gone all the way and are hoping to take home the trophy and €5 million in prize money.

What is the Europa Conference League?
The Europa Conference League is the third tier of European football; designed to give more clubs the chance to compete against teams from other countries.
Although it’s been talked about since 2015, this is only the second year of the league with last year being won for the first time by José Mourinho’s AS Roma.
The league starts with eight groups of four teams, followed by a round of 16, quarter-finals, semi-finals and a final, where clubs compete to win €5 million and an automatic spot in the group stages of the Europa League.

What is the difference between the Europa League and the Europa Conference League?
The Europa League is a tier above the Europa Conference League. The winners of the Conference League get an automatic place in the Europa League the following season.
Who qualifies to play in the Europa Conference League?
As with the other European competitions, the qualifying teams are determined by what happens in the English domestic leagues.
Normally, the side that wins the Carabao Cup in February receives an automatic place in the Conference League. However, if the winning team has already qualified for another European tournament, as is the case with Man United this season, the place in the Conference League instead goes to the side that finishes 7th in the Premier League.
This means that next season’s spot will go to one of Aston Villa, Tottenham or Brentford, who are all closing around the 7th spot on the league table.
When and where is the Europa Conference League Final?
The host of the European football finals is always subject to bids from major stadiums. This year, the duty has gone to Prague, Czechia, where the match will be kicking off at 9pm CET (8pm BST). Here’s the official date and venue:
- 7th June 2023 – Eden Arena, Prague
