Will be interested to see
how they cope with that.
Selling all the tickets to fans
and doubling the size of stadiums
won't even scratch the surface.

Still their answers might be
at best amusing.

More likely they’ve realised they didn’t charge enough for the tickets as they could have raked in a lot more.

the guy who picked Baku for the UEFA final defended his decision to pick the venue defended his decision by saying " if two clubs from aserbajan played in the final and it was played in London or Madrid the aserbajan people would have turned up without complaint " I forget the exact wording .
Apart from the fact that clubs from that country are extremely unlikely to fill one place in a major euro final let alone two clubs the point is that fans could get to Madrid but were unable to make Baku and this man seems to ignore the fact that it was almost impossible for the Chelsea and Arsenal fans to make the journey .
He also said "you should have seen the joy on there faces when Baku was chosen" well bless em and to make things really all encompassing lets hold the EUFA final in the North Pole and the champions final in the South Pole now that really would be inclusive and the looks on the polar bear and penguin faces will be something to behold.
To my eyes pick half a dozen iconic stadiums that hold eighty thousand or more and rotate as necessary.
The main thing is they must be accessible and not in places that cannot cope with massive crowds.

Wasn’t one of the issues that their airport couldn’t cope with the number of fans either. So that’s another factor that needs to be considered in future.
