However, two top arenas are already occupied on the final day. The second division playoff final is to be played at Wembley Stadium. A rugby final is on the schedule at the modern Tottenham Arena. The Olympic Stadium, where West Ham United plays, is also under discussion. A renewed exchange with the final locations of the coming years would also be possible. Istanbul and Munich would then be options.
