Excitement is building as West Ham prepare to face Fiorentina in the Europa Conference League final in Prague on June 7th.
Some of that excitement will soon be replaced by jangling nerves and tension as the Hammers edge closer to next Wednesday’s historic match.
The winners will automatically qualify for next season’s Europa League with West Ham aiming to end a 43-year major trophy drought in the process.
UEFA have caused controversy by choosing a 20k capacity stadium for a European final.
