A second working visit by UEFA representatives took place in Warsaw from 29 January to 1 February 2024, in connection with the UEFA Super Cup match scheduled to take place at PGE Narodowy on 14 August 2024.
The UEFA Super Cup match will feature the winners of two of UEFA's most important club competitions - the Champions League, whose final will take place on 1 June 2024 at Wembley Stadium in London, and the Europa League, where the deciding match is scheduled for Aviva Stadium in Dublin on 22 May.
In the previous edition of the UEFA Super Cup, held on 16 August 2023 in Piraeus, Manchester City defeated Sevilla FC after a penalty shoot-out.
Working meetings to develop organisational schemes and operational plans for the organisation of this prestigious match were held at the PGE Narodowy in Warsaw. In addition, Warsaw Chopin Airport, Warsaw Modlin Airport and numerous locations in Warsaw (including the Grand Theatre - National Opera, the Vistula boulevards and Francuska Street) were visited.
During the meetings, numerous topics were discussed regarding the organisation of the match in the stadium (technical and ICT issues, ticketing, organisation and safety of the mass event, protocol issues, sustainability) and the organisation within the city (hotels for teams and officials, fan meeting areas, mobility concept issues).
The meetings were attended by representatives of UEFA, the Polish Football Association, PL.2012+ (the PGE Narodowy operator), as well as other invited persons representing: Police, Warsaw Metropolitan Police, Warsaw VII Police District, Warsaw City Hall, Warsaw Chopin Airport or Warsaw Modlin Airport.
This was the second of the official working visits. The next one is scheduled for March 2024. The Department of Event Organisation, Safety, and Infrastructure of the Polish Football Association is responsible for organising the working meeting and implementing the project in cooperation with UEFA.
