CL Final Venue | Stade de France named as new venue

[cptaidan88]

Was there a champions league final in Istanbul or were they all cancelled? Surely that has to be one of the front runners if they go screwed over by covid

Next few seasons are already known.

2023 Istanbul, 2024 Wembley and 2025 Munich. They've changed around the order a few times becuase of Covid in the last couple of years but I think they'd be reluctant to do so again. Its quite a time consuming exercise for the branding of "Road to St Petersburg" and that will be used for the remainder of the season regardless of where it ends up getting played, and they will have already begun making the Istanbul 2023 stuff so I dont think that one will change.

If I was a betting man I would say Budapest.

Others that might be in with a shout in my opinion would be;
Athens, Berlin, Cardiff, Lyon, Marseille, Paris (St Denis), Rome, or Seville (La Cartuja).

There are reasons for and against UEFA awarding it to any of those. If PSG go out before they make a decision, I suspect the chance of one of the French cities hosting would increase (Marseille fans would create their own WW3 if PSG had the chance to win it at their stadium).

Stadiums like Tottenham 's new one and West Ham's haven't been categorised yet as far as I can tell.

Be funny if Spud’s stadium got whacked in category 2.

Lyon and La Cartuja are under 60k capacity so I suspect that would rule them out. I know they're only just under 60k but UEFA are on record as saying they prefer over 70k so I suspect 60k would be the absolute lower limit.

Would be surprised if they had the final in Istanbul this year, they're due to have it next year in 2023 which is down for being part of their celebration of 100 years being a republic.

I think it's a preference rather than a strict requirement. And they're both on the cusp of 60k anyway.

FWIW I don't like La Cartuja or any of the other options that have an athletic track but given the UEFA contingent are in Seville that week anyway for the Europa League final, I think it's somewhere they might consider.

They can fuck right off with this!

Now that would be wank! Wembley, Istanbul or Berlin would be good.

I am "open" to the idea of having intercourse with Michelle Keegan.

 

[hello]

They can fuck right off with this!

No way would uefa have it in the same city as the biggest game in the world on the same day. They wouldn’t like to be outshone by the championship
