Eintracht Frankfurt to take on Rangers in Wednesday's Europa League final

ANKARA (AA) - German team Eintracht Frankfurt will face Scottish club Rangers in the 2022 UEFA Europa League final on Wednesday.

Eintracht Frankfurt will try to bag their second Europa League title, while Rangers are after their first-ever Europa League title in the clash at Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan Stadium in Seville, Spain.

In 1980, Eintracht Frankfurt won their first Europa League – then called UEFA Cup – by defeating Borussia Monchengladbach with 3–3 aggregate, but on away goals rule in the all-German final.

The UEFA Cup was rebranded the Europa League before the 2009-2010 season.

Rangers will play their second Europa League final. The Glasgow-based club previously lost to Russia's Zenit St Petersburg 2-0 in the 2008 final that was held in Manchester.

The Europa League, a second-tier competition of European club football after the UEFA Champions League, is an annual football competition organized since 1971.

Spain's Sevilla won the Europa League a record six times, last in 2020.

Another Spanish club Villarreal are the reigning champions.
