**Munich and Barcelona Set to Host Champions League Finals in 2028 and 2029**
The prestigious UEFA Champions League finals will return to two of Europe’s most iconic stadiums in the coming years, as the Allianz Arena in Munich and Camp Nou in Barcelona have been selected to host the finals in 2028 and 2029, respectively. This announcement was made by UEFA, the governing body of European football, on Tuesday.
The Allianz Arena, known for its distinctive illuminated façade, will be hosting its third Champions League final in 2028. The stadium previously welcomed the final in 2012, where Chelsea triumphed over Bayern Munich in a dramatic penalty shootout. The arena also hosted the final in 2025, which saw Paris Saint-Germain claim their first Champions League title.
Barcelona's Camp Nou, one of the largest and most storied stadiums in the world, is set to host the final in 2029. This will mark the third occasion the venue has been chosen for the Champions League final, with its last hosting being in 1999. That memorable match saw Manchester United stage a remarkable comeback against Bayern Munich, scoring two goals in stoppage time to secure a 2-1 victory.
The 2029 final in Barcelona will take place just a year before Spain co-hosts the 2030 FIFA World Cup alongside Portugal and Morocco, further highlighting the city's significance in the world of football.
In addition to these announcements, UEFA has already confirmed that Madrid's Estadio Metropolitano, the home ground of Atletico Madrid, will host the final for the 2026-27 Champions League season on June 5, 2027. This selection continues the tradition of staging the final in some of Europe’s most celebrated football venues.
The selection of these iconic stadiums underscores UEFA's commitment to celebrating the rich history and culture of football in Europe while providing fans with unforgettable experiences during the pinnacle of club football.
