London fans set to make up less than 10% of attendance at Europa League final in Baku

The upcoming Europa League final between Chelsea and Arsenal in Baku will be one of the most poorly attended by fans travelling from the clubs' home country.

English followers have been priced out of the end-of-season showpiece and just over 6,000 are expected to travel to Azerbaijan from London.

The two sides are amongst the most heavily supported teams in Europe but just over 3,000 fans apiece are expected, taking up just half the offered allocation from UEFA.

Less than 10 per cent of the 68,700-seat Baku Olympic Stadium will be filled by supporters from England but there will likely be fans from Eastern Europe and Asia due to the global popularity of the clubs.
