UEFA Final in Istanbul

The UEFA Champions League will be held for the 66th time in 2020–21, and for the 29th time since the European Champion Clubs' Cup was renamed the UEFA Champions League. The Atatürk Olympic Stadium in Istanbul will host the league final. The 2020 UEFA Champions League Final was supposed to be held at the stadium, but it was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Europe.

UEFA confirmed to AFP on April 30 that the Champions League final will take place in Istanbul on May 29 as scheduled, amid a coronavirus outbreak in Turkey that has prompted the nation to declare a third lockdown. Following reports from broadcaster RMC, which shows the Champions League in France, and British newspaper the Daily Mail that a venue move was being contemplated, European football's governing body maintained that the continent's showpiece match must remain in the Turkish capital.

According to UEFA, the lockout, which started on Thursday and will last until May 17, "does not have any effect on the match," which will be held at the Atatürk Olympic Stadium with a "small number of spectators." "To stage the match safely," UEFA said, "we will continue to work closely with the Turkish Football Federation and local and national authorities." The final was supposed to be held at the Atatürk Stadium last year, but the pandemic prompted UEFA to hold a "Final 8" tournament in Lisbon in August instead.

Turkey is set to go through its first absolute shutdown at the start of May, but European football's governing body expects only a "small number" of fans to attend the showpiece game on May 29 at the Ataturk Olympic Stadium.

To ensure a secure match, UEFA will continue to cooperate closely with the Turkish Football Federation, as well as local and national authorities. More information about the match's capacity and ticketing information will be released shortly.

Manchester City defeated PSG 2-1 in the first leg of their semi-final on Wednesday, and Chelsea drew 1-1 with Real Madrid in Spain on Tuesday, with the return matches taking place in England next week.
