2023 UEFA Europa Conference League final

The original identity of the 2023 UEFA Europa Conference League Final was unveiled at the group stage draw on 26 August 2022.

The remaining tickets were allocated to the local organising committee, national associations, commercial partners, and broadcasters, and to serve the corporate hospitality programme.

[21] Police arrested more than 30 people after a group of West Ham fans were attacked by Italian Ultras dressed in black.

[22] West Ham started quickly as Lucas Paquetá played a pass into Michail Antonio, but his shot was easily saved by Pietro Terracciano.

Fiorentina caught a break after Declan Rice's shot was just wide of the post following a long throw that the Italians failed to clear.

Fiorentina began to control the tempo from this point, and had a chance when Nikola Milenković's header went over the bar from a corner.

Saïd Benrahma went down near the edge of the Fiorentina box, but instead of drawing a free kick for the Hammers, he received the first yellow card of the match for simulation.

Ten minutes before the halftime whistle, the match was halted when Fiorentina captain Cristiano Biraghi was hit by cups and other objects thrown by the West Ham fans.

Fiorentina made the first substitution a minute into the second half, with Jovic leaving the pitch and being replaced by Arthur Cabral.

After a VAR check by referee Carlos del Cerro Grande showed that Biraghi had flicked his hand on to the ball, the penalty was given to the Hammers.

Nicolás González won an aerial duel against Emerson, and headed the ball down for Giacomo Bonaventura who controlled it well with one foot and fired past Areola with the other into the far corner to equalise for Fiorentina.

West Ham nearly responded to retake the lead, as Antonio was slipped in by Paquetá, but could not finish the chance, and the flag went up for offside.

After the game Fiorentina president, Rocco Commisso described West Ham as treating Fiorentina players "like animals" after Luka Jović came off at half-time with a broken nose and Cristiano Biraghi received a bloodied face after being hit by an object thrown from the crowd.

[31] On 8 June thousands lined a route from the Champions Statue to Stratford Town Hall as West Ham players took part in an open top bus parade to show the trophy and celebrate the win.

The Fortuna Arena in Prague hosted the final.
