Exactly.
You can't move the stadium once the choice has been made though. They will haver invested money not only in bidding for the final but probably in improving the stadium, planning security etc. You can't change the venue for the final, but you can choose a more appropriate venue in the first place. Ease of supporters entering and moving around the country
should be one of the primary considerations. It isn't of course because none of footballs governing bodies give a shit about the supporters.
