Players and fans of Manchester United and Ajax will pay their respects to the victims of Monday's terror attack at the Europa League final.
It will be an emotional night in Stockholm inside the Friends Arena just 48 hours after 22 people were killed and 64 injured at a concert by Ariana Grande at the Manchester Arena.
The United players will wear black armbands and there will be a minute's silence before kick-off.
There won't be a public screening of the game in the Swedish capital as has been the case for all previous UEFA finals.
UEFA has moved to reassure fans that stringent security measures will be in place, while the opening ceremony will be considerably reduced as a mark of respect.
United's players observed a minute's silence during a training session on Tuesday with Jose Mourinho saying: "We're all very sad about the tragic events. We can't take out of our minds and hearts the victims and their families.
"We have a job to do and will fly to Sweden to do that job. It's a pity we cannot fly with the happiness we always have before a big game.
"I know, even during my short time here, that the people of Manchester will pull together as one."
With a Champions League spot going to the winners, United are bidding to win the competition for the first time in the club's history, while Ajax are seeking their first major European trophy since 1995.
United's chief executive Ed Woodward added: "Words don't really do justice for how we all feel. We're numb.
"The events were sickening and all our thoughts are with the victims and the families affected by it. It was very sombre flying over with the directors and it was all we were talking about, to be honest.
"Success on the pitch really is nothing compared to the pain and suffering going on back home, that is really where our thoughts are at this point in time."
Ajax's players also held a minute's silence at the Stockholm arena. Manager Peter Bosz said: "On behalf of all of us at Ajax we express our sympathies with the victims that fell.
"The feeling that prevails is the final does not have the glow it should have.
"It should be a football feast but because of the events in Manchester we are affected. It is horrible. My sympathies are heartfelt."
