Bournemouth qualified for the Europa League for the first time in their history, finishing 6th in the Premier League with the division's smallest stadium at 11,000 capacity. Council approved expansion to 20,000+ seats for UEFA compliance — covering floodlights, media facilities and VIP infrastructure — with full redevelopment estimated for late 2028.
