The 2019 UEFA Europa League Final will be an all-English affair as Chelsea face Arsenal at the Olympic Stadium in Baku, Azerbaijan, on Wednesday, May 29.
INTRODUCTION TO THE EUROPA LEAGUE FINAL
This is the 48th season of Europe’s secondary club football tournament and the tenth since it was renamed from the UEFA Cup to the UEFA Europa League.
The winners of the final automatically qualify for the 2019/20 Champions League group stage, although Chelsea have already booked their place in that competition via their league position.
If Arsenal fail to beat Chelsea, the berth reserved for the winners of the final will be given to the third-placed team in Ligue 1 – the fifth-ranked association according to next season’s access list.
