Arena to host UEFA final

The European football association UEFA announced on Thursday it has chosen the Arena in Amsterdam to host the Europa League final in 2013.


Dutch football association chairman Michael van Praag told the Volkskrant: ‘The Arena will be renovated and modernised over the coming years and will be state-of-the-art by 2013. Hosting this event is a wonderful reward for our investment.’
It is the second time the Arena has hosted a UEFA final. In 1998, Real Madrid beat Juventus 1-0 in the Champions League.
