Dublin Arena
The 2023/24 Europa League will conclude in Dublin on Wednesday 22 May at Dublin Arena, once known as Lansdowne Road, a stadium deeply rooted in the country’s sporting history. The stadium was fully renovated in 2010 and the famous curvilinear shape around its bowl was specifically designed to minimise the impact on the residential areas surrounding the stadium.
