On Wednesday evening, the first final in the history of the Conference League will take place. This season, the tournament, counting its first years, will hold the final in Albania, in the city of Tirana. In the "Arena Kombetare" stadium, which can accommodate 22,500 fans, two well-known European clubs, "AS Roma" and Rotterdam's "Feyenoord", will compete for the title. Both clubs have already secured a place in the next season's Europa League - which is one of the advantages of the Conference League trophy - but there will be no shortage of drama. Before the match, Roma's strategist Jose Mourinho spoke about this final and the upcoming opponent. "Like us, they also played 14 matches in this tournament and had to overcome strong opponents. Their semi-final with "Marseille" - a team with a rich history in Europe, and the "Velodrome" stadium is one of the most fascinating and very difficult places to play. "Feyenoord" can only be praised," - said the Portuguese about the Dutch team. "I am a coach with a long history, and "Roma" is a big club. I felt part of the responsibility to make the first season of this tournament memorable. So slowly we fulfilled our ambition to go as far as possible in this tournament and then saw 170,000 fans in the stadiums during the semi-finals. "The Conference League is our Champions League. It is our current level, the tournament we play in. Such important matches for the club have not been for a long time," said Mourinho. "AS Roma" can fight for its first international UEFA trophy tomorrow, while for "Feyenoord" it will be the first final in a European tournament since 2002.
