Lyon to host 2018 Europa League final

UEFA announces that the 2017-18 Europa League final will be held at the 60,000-seater Parc OL in Lyon.

UEFA has announced that the 2017-18 Europa League final will be played in Lyon.

The match will be held at the 59,286-seater Parc OL, a stadium that was built for Euro 2016, where it hosted six games.

The Republic of Ireland and Wales both saw their campaigns end in the stadium at the hands of France and Portugal respectively, while Northern Ireland beat Ukraine 2-0 at the venue during the group stages.

This season's final will take place in Solna, Sweden, where Sevilla's three-year reign as champions will come to an end after they qualified for the last 16 of the Champions League.

UEFA also revealed that clubs will become ranked on their individual merit when it comes to coefficients rather than receiving a 20% contribution from their national association.

Domestic champions that are eliminated in the qualifying rounds of the Champions League will also have the chance to qualify for the Europa League via a dedicated champions' qualifying path.
