The 2025 UEFA Conference League final was the final match of the 2024–25 UEFA Conference League, the fourth season of Europe's tertiary club football tournament organised by UEFA, and the first season since the competition was renamed from the UEFA Europa Conference League to the UEFA Conference League. The final was played at the Wrocław Stadium in Wrocław, Poland. The final was contested between Real Betis and Chelsea.[2] The final was won by Chelsea 4–1 to secure their first UEFA Conference League title, becoming the first club to win all four major European trophies and all three of the current European competitions.[3] They also became the first non-Spanish side to defeat a Spanish club in a European final since 2001, when Bayern Munich won against Valencia in the UEFA Champions League final.[4]
