The European Football Union (UEFA) issued a statement on strengthening security measures in Stockholm for the European League final "Ajax" - "Manchester United".

The game will be held on the 24th of May at 21:45.

UEFA also expressed condolences to the families of victims of the terrorist attack in Manchester, which occurred on May 22. 22 people were killed.

"At the moment there is no information that would indicate that the events timed to the UEFA Europa League final in Stockholm could be the target of such attacks.

For many months, UEFA has been working closely with local authorities and the Swedish Football Association, and the terrorist threat has been taken into consideration from the very beginning of the project. Moreover, after the April attacks in Stockholm, additional security measures were introduced.

In connection with strict security measures, UEFA asks fans to arrive at the stadium as soon as possible. At the entrance will be a thorough check, which can cause a delay when you get to the stands, "- said in a statement by UEFA.

Recall, in April in Stockholm, the truck drove into a crowd of people. Then killed 5 people.
