When is the Europa League final? Tottenham and Man United favourites to fight it out
Some Tottenham fans will feel that they have one foot in the Europa League final after their 3-1 win over Bodo/Glimt last week. Here is all that you need to know about the final, including where it is played, when, and what the reward is for winning the trophy.
Where is the final?
The final of the Europa League will be played in Spain this year, with the San Mames Stadium in Bilbao getting the honour of hosting the showpiece event.
The historic stadium is the home ground of Athletic Club Bilbao, who could still make the final, although they face an uphill task following their 3-0 loss in the first leg.
When is the Europa League final?
The Europa League final will be played on Wednesday, May 21, 2025, with kick-off scheduled for 8 pm (BST). It will be the 16th final since the competition was rebranded and the 54th edition since the UEFA Cup was first introduced.
How many Europa Leagues have Tottenham won?
Tottenham Hotspur have not won the competition since its rebranding, but they did win the UEFA Cup on two occasions, once in 1972 and then again in 1984.
They might have an opportunity to win it for the third time this month and overall, it will be Tottenham’s fourth European trophy in total, including their 1962–63 European Cup Winners Cup triumph, which was the first time any English club had won a European trophy.
Who will Tottenham face in the Europa League final?
If Spurs overcome Bodo/Glimt, they will face one of Athletic Club Bilbao or Man United in the Europa League final. The Red Devils are massive favourites to progress after beating the La Liga side 3-0 in the first leg in Spain.
What do the Europa League winners get?
According to Football.London, the winners of the Europa League will win a 15kg trophy – the heaviest piece of silverware that UEFA have to offer.
Additionally, they will also secure direct passage into the league phase of next season’s Champions League while having a chance to face off against this season’s Champions League winners in the UEFA Super Cup, which will be played at the start of next season.
According to the outlet, the winners of the Europa League will get a prize money of €13m (£10.95m) while the runners-up will get €7m (£5.9m). If Spurs are knocked out by Bodo/Glimt, they will have to make do with just €4.2m (£3.54m).
