Overview

• Meeting in Tirana, the UEFA Executive Committee postponed a decision and will consult federations, leagues, clubs and fans on FIGC and RFEF requests to stage domestic league games outside UEFA territory.
• Lega Serie A, AC Milan and Como seek approval to play their Serie A fixture in Perth on the weekend of 7–8 February 2026 because San Siro is reserved for the Milan–Cortina opening ceremony.
• UEFA cited unresolved questions about precedent, sporting integrity and home-fan access, with internal views divided and president Aleksander Čeferin previously expressing reservations.
• Lega Serie A president Ezio Simonelli said San Siro will be shut from 24 January to 14 February and argued there are no comparable nearby alternatives, calling the move a necessity rather than a whim.
• In other business, UEFA confirmed several final venues, naming Madrid’s Estadio Metropolitano as host of the 2027 Champions League final.
