Porto beat Braga in an all-Portuguese affair in 2011 when Radamel Falcao headed home a first-half winner in front of a crowd of 45,391. “Demonstrating Dublin’s ability to manage such a large event will increase our potential to attract other high profile sporting and non-sporting events in the future.”Ibec executive director Sharon Higgins said businesses in Dublin consider the fixture “an important pre-summer boost”.

“In the past, events such as the Aer Lingus College Football Classic 2023, featuring Notre Dame and Navy, is calculated to have generated a €180 million boost for the economy,” she said. “While many more supporters attended that event, the Europa League final will still be a significant short-term injection to the Irish economy.”
