    <p>The Europa League is back this week, with 36 clubs vying for success in UEFA’s second most prestigious club tournament. While it may not have the allure of the Champions League, it remains a highly sought-after trophy. Last season saw two of England’s top clubs face off in the final, where Tottenham narrowly defeated Manchester United to claim their first trophy in 17 years.</p>

    <p>This season’s competition is wide open, with no clear frontrunner, though the two most valuable squads hail from the Premier League. Nottingham Forest boasts the highest squad value in the Europa League at €556 million, followed closely by Aston Villa at €547 million. Roma, Porto, and Stuttgart round out the top five. But which teams have the largest stadiums in this year’s competition? Let’s take a closer look.</p>

    <h2>The Largest Stadiums in the Europa League</h2>
    <p>Eleven clubs have stadiums with capacities exceeding 50,000, and Roma has the largest venue in the Europa League. The Stadio Olimpico, famously shared with city rivals Lazio, can accommodate 73,261 fans. However, Roma rarely fills the stadium to capacity, averaging just over 63,000 attendees across their two home Serie A matches this season.</p>

    <p>Real Betis ranks second for capacity, though they are currently not playing at their home ground. The Villamarin Stadium, which holds 60,721 fans, is under renovation, so they are hosting matches at the Estadio de La Cartuja in Seville, which has a capacity of 70,000. Two Scottish teams make the top ten, with Celtic in third and Rangers in eighth, while Turkish powerhouse Fenerbahce ranks ninth.</p>

    <h2>The Smallest Stadiums in the Europa League</h2>
    <p>Only two clubs have stadiums with capacities below 10,000. Ludogorets’ Huvepharma Stadium in Bulgaria accommodates just 8,000 fans, and the De Adelaarshorst Stadium, home of Go Ahead Eagles, holds a mere 8,011. Notably, none of the top five leagues have clubs in the top ten for smallest stadiums, with FC Midtjylland’s MCH Arena featuring a capacity of 11,535.</p>
