74.01

For every UEFA Europa League match, the home club must provide UEFA, free of charge, with a single exclusive hospitality area for use by UEFA and its partners, which should be located within the club's VIP area. In the knockout phase, the home club may be required to provide UEFA, free of charge, with a separate exclusive area within the club's hospitality area for use by UEFA and its partners if space permits, or a comparable area elsewhere if not. If UEFA decides to use the exclusive hospitality area provided, the home club must ensure that no third-party commercial branding is visible. The relevant requirements shall be determined by UEFA as part of the site visits undertaken at each stadium. If the home club offers a specific service to its guests (e.g. a sit-down meal), guests of UEFA and its partners must be offered the same service at no additional charge, including in UEFA's exclusive hospitality area. If the home club's VIP area closes after the game, but other hospitality areas remain open, guests of UEFA and its partners should be able to access those areas.

74.02

The standard of these facilities must be at least comparable to the highest standard available in the stadium. If the home club is not able to offer such facilities within the stadium, it must find an alternative solution at its own expense outside the stadium. This alternative solution must be of a standard comparable to that of an internal facility. UEFA will notify the clubs of the relevant size requirements of such hospitality facilities.

74.03

The clubs must make every effort to give UEFA and its partners the opportunity to acquire, on reasonable commercial terms and subject to availability, one skybox (or similar facility) for the round of 16 matches and the quarter-finals and two skyboxes (or similar facilities) for the semi-finals.

74.04

In principle, 60 parking places for the league phase, 80 parking places for the knockout phase play-offs and round of 16 and 100 for the quarter and semi-final matches must be provided, free of charge, to UEFA for use by partners. The number and category of parking places is decided upon by UEFA and the home club. These parking spaces should be in a prime position, wherever possible with easy access to the UEFA and partners’ hospitality area.
