Why this petition matters

Started by Ruth Kabau

The Europa League Final is set to take place Wednesday 29 May 2019, in Baku, the capital city of Azerbaijan. Arsenal FC will go head to head with Chelsea FC. This has forced Arsenal to exclude key Armenian player, Henrikh Mkhitaryan from the squad set to travel at the weekend. Armenia and Azerbaijan have a century-long conflict stemming from the fall of the Russian Empire in 1917, which has caused concern for Mkhitaryan's safety. As a global body, UEFA should have considered this before setting a venue, and furthermore, after it became apparent that a club with an Armenian player would contend for the League Cup. It is unfair to the player and the club who have worked hard to qualify. Sign the petition to have UEFA move the game to Wembley Stadium.
