Champions League Finals 2027: Madrid & Warsaw to Host! 🔥
Madrid & Warsaw Secure 2027 Champions League Finals!
Big news for football fans! UEFA has announced that Madrid, Spain, will host the 2027 men's Champions League final, while Warsaw, Poland, will stage the women's final. This exciting development comes after UEFA reopened bidding for the event, originally slated for Milan's San Siro, due to concerns about refurbishment plans.
Atletico Madrid's impressive Estadio Metropolitano, boasting a 70,000-capacity, will now be the stage for the men's showpiece. The stadium previously hosted the 2019 Champions League final, where Liverpool triumphed over Tottenham.
Meanwhile, the women's final will take place at Warsaw's Stadion Narodowy in Poland's capital. This marks a significant moment for Polish football and promises to be a thrilling event.
In other news, UEFA also revealed that the Super Cup match in 2026 will be held in Salzburg, Austria, adding another exciting fixture to the European football calendar.
UEFA Addresses Domestic League Matches Abroad
During the same meeting in Tirana, Albania, UEFA's executive committee discussed requests from the Spanish and Italian football associations to play domestic league matches abroad. While acknowledging the importance of the issue, UEFA decided to consult with all stakeholders, including fans, before making a final decision.
"There are many issues to resolve and as the European governing body, Uefa has a responsibility to take all such factors into account," stated UEFA.
Squad Regulation Amendment Approved
The committee did approve an amendment to the 2025-26 UEFA club competitions' regulations. This amendment will permit clubs to temporarily replace one outfield player with a long-term injury or illness in their squads during the league phase until matchday six. This offers clubs greater flexibility in managing their squads during challenging periods.
