The final is one of the biggest sporting events ever hosted by Albania, with authorities declaring Wednesday a public holiday and closing major roads in the capital.
With the final venue only accommodating 21,690 people, thousands of fans from both the Netherlands and Italy are expected to watch the match in two different fan zones.
Police said they had taken measures to prevent violence from erupting on match day.
