Sevilla fear for their Europa League final in Pizjuán

Sevilla is very aware of everything that happens in the offices of UEFA, mainly because he is still alive in the Europa League, where he must face Roma in the round of 16. But it is not the only European issue that generates some concern in Nervión, since Sánchez Pizjuán was chosen to host the final of the Europa League in 2021, something that is up in the air right now.

And the reason for the doubts is none other than the real possibility that UEFA permanently suspend all your competitions this season if the coronavirus crisis would not allow you to resume your tournaments. This would open a scenario never seen before, so there are no references to how the European body would act.

This year's final was scheduled to take place in the Polish town of Gdansk, in the stadium that was built for Euro 2012 and whose capacity is similar to that of Sánchez Pizjuán. There is a possibility that, in case of suspension, UEFA decided to keep the venue for this course for the final of 2021, which, a priori, it should delay the year-long decisive match at Sánchez Pizjuán for another year.

Last September 24 was the date on which Seville had the officiality of the UEFA that it would host the final of the Europa League on May 26, 2021. The remodeling works of the Sánchez Pizjuán that were already being carried out They aimed to make the stadium look like it should in the aforementioned final, so a hypothetical delay of it would have its positive side here.
