Article body
1. FFC Frankfurt's decision to switch the second leg of the UEFA Women's Cup final to the 15,000-capacity Bornheimer Hang stadium has been justified by brisk ticket sales.
High demand
Frankfurt moved the return match against Sweden's Umeå IK from their 5,000-capacity Brentanobad due to anticipated demand. And tickets for the match, well publicised in Germany, have been selling fast, with as many as 10,000 spectators expected on the day.
Live coverage
The home team will need the support, though, as they trail the holders 3-0 from the first leg. A preview of the return will appear later this week on uefa.com, with live coverage from 14.30CET on Saturday.
