On Wednesday, in the only match of the fourth round, Riga FC defeated Sparta Prague 1-0 but the result was not enough to advance. This is because, in the first leg, the team from the Czech Republic had defeated the team from Latvia 2-0.
Therefore, Sparta Prague advances in the last qualifying round of the Conference League and will compete in the main stage of the tournament.
UEFA has decided that the final of the 2025-26 Conference League will be held at the Red Bull Arena, in Leipzig, Germany. The stadium has a capacity of 47,000 people and has previously hosted matches of the 2006 World Cup and Euro 2024.
It's worth noting that the winner of the tournament secures a place in the next edition of the Europa League, if they don't qualify through their national league. The current champion of the Conference is Chelsea, who defeated Betis in the final 4-1, on May 28.
