West Ham fans face ticket allocation concerns for Europa Conference League final

Related Topics: West Ham, Fortuna Arena, UEFA

West Ham fans hoping to see their club in a European final for the first time in almost 50 years are set to be left disappointed thanks to Uefa’s miserly ticket allocation.

Only 5,000 tickets will be made available for West Ham should they reach the Europa Conference League final at the tiny Fortuna Arena in Prague.

The Czech stadium, home of Slavia Prague, saw off five other bids — including one from Belfast’s Windsor Park — to host the showpiece event on June 7.

But the ground has a capacity of just under 20,000, with Uefa deciding that only 10,000 tickets will be given to the two finalists.
