The final was to be played in Turkey last year, but will be held in Estadio da Luz in Lisbon, Portugal, due to the epidemic conditions. The final match in Turkey, which was postponed this season, has been moved to Portugal again.
According to the
UEFA statement, it was stated that after Turkey was 'red listed' by the UK, location of the final match was changed from Istanbul to Porto due to the insurmountable travel difficulties for British fans.
In the statement in question, it was also stated that 6 thousand fans from each team could participate in the match.
