An open top parade bus with West Ham ‘Europa Conference League winners’ branding has been spotted in London ahead of tonight’s final in Prague.
The Hammers are preparing to take on Fiorentina in their first European final for 47 years with the Europa Conference League trophy on the line.
This is only the second edition of the tournament following inaugural winners Roma in 2022.
A place in the Europa League is at stake for West Ham, who battled relegation fears for much of the Premier League season.
David Moyes’ side are aiming to lift a first major title since 1980 and football betting sites have the Londoners as slight favourites (17/10) with Fiorentina priced at 7/4.

West Ham dispatched of AEK Larnaca, Gent and AZ Alkmaar in the knockout stages to advance to the final, booking a date with Serie A outfit Fiorentina.
The Italians’ path to the final included Sivasspor, Lech Poznan and Basel. Vincenzo Italiano’s side finished eighth in the league table, one spot adrift a guaranteed return to the Conference League.
It has been reported that over 40,000 Hammers supporters have travelled to the Czech Republic, but their stadium allocation was capped at under 6,000.
Whether or not the bus will curse West Ham remains to be seen ahead of tonight’s kick-off at 8pm from the Eden Arena.
This is likely to be captain Declan Rice‘s final outing for the club, which he joined in 2014 as a 14-year-old amid strong interest from Arsenal and Bayern Munich.
