Sevilla’s request to UEFA to change the kick-off time of the return leg of their Europa League tie against Villarreal has been successful. The governing body’s plan was to play the game at 19:00, however the club petitioned to change it to 21:05, on the grounds that the fans would be more likely to attend and the Sánchez-Pizjuán would be far more likely to be full. In many offices In Spain the working day finishes at 19:00, meaning a kick-off at that time can prevent fans from attending.
Sevilla also had to get the go-ahead from the television operators, as well as the Spanish Federation and from their rivals Villarreal. Fernando Roig, president of Villarreal presented no obstacles however for Sevilla, and supported their plan from the start. Sevilla thanked Villarreal publicly for their approach to the situation.
