Baku and Madrid Compete to Host 2027 Champions League Final

UEFA reopens bidding after Milan's San Siro loses hosting rights due to renovation uncertainties.

UEFA confirmed Baku's Olympic Stadium and Madrid's Estadio Metropolitano as the two contenders for the 2027 Champions League final.
The decision to reopen the bidding process came after Milan failed to assure UEFA that the San Siro would be ready amid planned renovations.
Baku's Olympic Stadium would be the easternmost venue in Champions League history if selected.
Madrid's Estadio Metropolitano previously hosted the Champions League final in 2019.
Final proposals from both cities are due by March 19, 2025, with UEFA's decision expected in May 2025.
