Yesterday, the media carried the story that UEFA were concerned that ticketless fans could be a problem at the Europa League final at Dublin's Aviva Stadium on 22 May. General secretary Theodore Theodoridis is quoted saying that it "would be extremely challenging to accommodate supporters if clubs with bigger fanbases reached the final".
The perfect storm would be a Liverpool vs Rangers final given the geographic location and domestic fanbases on the Island of Ireland for these clubs. This is quite unlikely however – the markets price Rangers at 16/1 to reach the final.
Liverpool themselves are however the biggest worry. They are 8/11 to reach the final and have a large fanbase in Ireland alone. This would be Jurgen Klopp's last game in charge of Liverpool; should they reach the final managing the event for UEFA will be a major challenge given the likely numbers and the wider accommodation and infrastructural issues in Dublin. There are also many other big clubs that would bring significant fanbases such as AC Milan, Roma and Marseille.
UEFA are probably hoping for some shocks. This will be one to keep an eye for those interested in event management and could be a good case study depending on how things play out.
