Stadion Miejski in Gdansk, Poland is the venue for the 2021 Europa League final.
The stadium was originally meant to host the 2020 Europa League final, with Seville's Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan Stadium meant to host the 2021 final, but the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic forced a change.
UEFA made the call to host the 2020 Champions League and Europa League finals in Portgual and Lisbon respectively, pushing the original venues for those games back a year.
Also known as the Gdansk Arena, construction of the stadium was completed in 2011 and it served as one of Poland's venues for Euro 2012.
A UEFA Category 4 stadium, Stadion Miejski has a capacity of 40,000.

Will fans be allowed to attend Europa League 2021 final?
It remains to be seen if fans will be permitted to attend the 2021 Europa League final and it will depend on the public health situation in Poland.
In March, UEFA said that the previous 30% of capacity limit was lifted, but that the decision regarding how many spectators will be permitted to attend would be a matter for the authorities in a particular country.
A statement explained: "The [executive] committee decided that in light of the fact that each of UEFA’s 55 members associations faces a different situation with regard to tackling the pandemic, such a cap is no longer needed and that the decision on the number of permitted spectators should fall under the exclusive responsibility of the relevant competent local/national authorities."
