The 2017 Champions League final will be held at the 74,500 capacity Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, UEFA announced Tuesday.
The decision was made at a UEFA executive committee in Prague. The
2017 Europa League final will be at the Friends Arena in Stockholm and
Europe’s Super Cup will be in Skopje, said UEFA general secretary Gianni
Infantino.
“The Millennium Stadium in Cardiff is one of the few stadiums which can host a Champions League final, it has become such an event,” Infantino told a press conference.
“We can’t go every year to Wembley or to Berlin or whatever, we need to rotate a little bit.”
A UEFA executive committee in Prague also discussed preparations for next year’s European Championships in France.
Infantino said there had been five million applications for one million tickets currently on sale. He said the applications had come from 193 countries.
