Overview
- UEFA’s Executive Committee formally confirmed the venues at its meeting in Thessaloniki on Tuesday, September 15, 2026, awarding the 2028 final to Munich’s Allianz Arena and the 2029 final to Barcelona’s renovated Spotify Camp Nou.
- Munich was the only formal bidder for 2028, giving UEFA direct assurance of the Allianz Arena’s logistics after it hosted the 2025 final and meets requirements for transport, accommodation and event delivery.
- Barcelona beat Wembley for the 2029 slot with a bid backed by the Spanish government, the RFEF and local authorities that stressed Camp Nou’s commercial appeal and a projected capacity of about 105,000 once rebuilding finishes.
- Camp Nou remains under reconstruction with club estimates targeting full completion in late 2027 or early 2028, so UEFA’s award counts on that timetable and on the pledges and guarantees supplied by Spain and local partners.
- The Thessaloniki meeting also set hosts for other club finals, including the Women’s Champions League in Lyon (2028) and Cardiff (2029), underscoring UEFA’s multi-year planning and the limited number of stadiums that meet its hosting standards across Europe.
