Hold the Europa League final in London, not Azerbaijan.
Arsenal and Chelsea have both qualified for the Europa League final in Azerbaijan.
This means 12,000 fans will have to take 4 flights to get there and back.
Moving the final to London we will prevent 8,449,283kg of toxic CO2 being released into the atmosphere.
Holding the final in Baku instead of London means a phenomenal amount of unnecessary air travel, which will massively contribute to climate change, the single most important issue of our lifetime.
UEFA should be thinking about the environmental impact of staging a final 4,000km away, when the two teams involved are barely 10km apart.
