West Ham United will take out a victory parade in east London on Thursday (8), a day after they won the Europa Conference League.
Forward Jarrod Bowen's dramatic 90th-minute goal secured them their first major European trophy since 1965 with a 2-1 win over Fiorentina in the final in Prague on Wednesday (7).
It is the second European trophy for the Hammers after they won the now defunct Cup Winners' Cup 58 years ago with a team including England World Cup heroes Geoff Hurst and Bobby Moore.
It is also their major trophy since their FA Cup triumph in 1980.
Their players and coaching staff will parade their latest trophy from 7 pm on a specially-commissioned open top bus from Upton Park to Stratford Town Hall.
It will pass through Barking Road, Greengate Street and the A112 and move past Plaistow Park, Plaistow Station and Stratford Park before culminating on West Ham Lane.
Newham mayor Rokhsana Fiaz will welcome the squad and Hammers skipper Declan Rice will hold the trophy aloft in front of the Claret & Blue fans, the east London club said in a statement.
It, however, warned that the timings would “inevitably change depending on the size of the crowd”.
West Ham joint-chair David Sullivan said it would be “fantastic to see Hammers fans from across London fill the streets to welcome our heroes back from Prague."
While showering praise on the players who “have given us a night and a triumph that will live forever,” Sullivan also appreciated the efforts of manager David Moyes and the backroom team.
Fans are advised to bring bottles of water to stay hydrated “on what is expected to be the hottest day of the year”.
In the final, Said Benrahma had opened the scoring for West Ham as he sent a penalty past Terracciano on 62 minutes. Five minutes later, Giacomo Bonaventura levelled the score beating West Ham goalkeeper Alphonse Areola with a low right-footed effort.
Bowen, who scored the winning goal towards the end of the regulation time, told BT Sport after the match, "I obviously dreamed of scoring but to score the winner in the last minute, it's what you always say you want to do.”
With Wednesday’s win in Prague, West Ham have also clinched a spot in next season's Europa League.

Reddit is adding video replies as it broadens the ways users interact on the platform.
Reddit users can now post videos in comment threads
Reddit is expanding beyond text-based discussions with the launch of video comments, a new feature that allows users to reply to posts and conversations using short videos.
The Reddit video comments feature began rolling out on June 11 and is available in eligible public communities that choose to enable it. The update marks another step in Reddit's efforts to make discussions more interactive while giving users additional ways to share ideas, reactions and advice beyond traditional text comments.
Users can either upload an existing video or record one directly from the comment box. Once enabled by moderators, a video icon will appear alongside the existing image and GIF options in comment threads.
From text threads to face-to-face reactions
For nearly two decades, Reddit has largely been built around written discussions. While images and GIFs were added over time, conversations have remained primarily text-driven.
Video comments could change that dynamic, particularly in communities where visual demonstrations are more useful than written explanations. A cooking enthusiast could respond with a quick recipe demonstration, a beauty creator could show a makeup technique, or sports fans could share clips illustrating a discussion point.
Reddit also sees potential for its popular Ask Me Anything (AMA) sessions. Rather than posting a single video response to multiple questions, public figures could potentially reply to individual users through separate video comments.
The feature has already been tested in selected communities through an alpha programme. According to Reddit, examples included a video AMA with Spice Girls singer Mel C and users sharing handwriting demonstrations in a fountain pen community.
Maria Angelidou-Smith, Reddit's chief product officer, reportedly said the company is continuing to evolve the platform to create a more immersive and authentic experience for users. She added that video replies would offer communities new ways to express themselves and interact.
Safety controls remain in place
The rollout comes with several restrictions. Video comments are only available in public, safe-for-work communities and moderators must actively enable the feature before users can access it. Private and not-safe-for-work communities are currently excluded.
Reddit said uploaded videos will pass through the platform's safety systems before becoming publicly visible. The company also confirmed that video comments will not autoplay and will respect users' existing audio settings.
The safeguards reflect the platform's cautious approach to introducing video into comment sections, an area that has traditionally been dominated by text discussions.
The launch forms part of Reddit's broader strategy to expand content formats and encourage deeper engagement across its communities. While text remains at the heart of the platform, video comments suggest Reddit is increasingly experimenting with features more commonly associated with social media and creator-focused platforms.
Whether users embrace the format widely may depend on how individual communities choose to use it, but the move signals a notable shift in how conversations could evolve across one of the internet's largest discussion platforms.
