The 2024 UEFA Europa Conference League final will be the final match of the 2023–24 UEFA Europa Conference League, the third season of Europe's tertiary club football tournament organised by UEFA. It will be held at the Agia Sophia Stadium in Athens, Greece, on 29 May 2024,[2][3] between Greek club Olympiacos and Italian club Fiorentina.
The winners will qualify to enter the league phase of the 2024–25 UEFA Europa League, unless they have already qualified for the Champions League or Europa League through their league performance (in which case the access list will be rebalanced).
This is Olympiacos' first European final. For only the second time a Greek team appear in a European final, the first was Panathinaikos, who lost the 1971 European Cup final. Fiorentina is the first club to play in two UEFA Europa Conference League finals and the first to contest them consecutively.

The Agia Sophia Stadium in Athens, known as the OPAP Arena for sponsorship reasons, is home of AEK Athens, one of Olympiacos' local rivals. The stadium opened in September 2022,[4] and has a capacity of 31,100.[5] The match will be the eighth single-leg UEFA club final to be played in Greece, having hosted three European Cup/Champions League finals (in 1983, 1994 and 2007), three Cup Winners' Cup finals (in 1971, 1973 and 1987).
On 21 June 2022, UEFA opened the bidding process for the final, which was held in parallel with that of the 2025 final. Interested bidders could bid for either one or both of the finals. The proposed venues had to include natural grass and be ranked as a UEFA category four stadium, with a gross capacity of between 30,000 and 50,000 preferred. The bidding timeline was as follows:[2]
The UEFA Executive Committee appointed the Agia Sophia Stadium as the host during their meeting in Nyon, Switzerland, on 28 June 2023. As the stadium is new and has never been operated by the club for international competitions, the venue is subject to an observation period until November 2023 for matches played in UEFA club competitions and UEFA Euro 2024 qualifying. Should the venue meet the requirements, the appointment will be officially confirmed in December 2023.[6]
