Wembley Stadium will not host the 2029 Champions League final, as Uefa has confirmed Barcelona's upgraded Nou Camp as the chosen venue. The decision was announced on Tuesday by the governing body.
This marks a significant win for Barcelona, coming a year before Spain is set to co-host the 2030 World Cup alongside Portugal and Morocco. The Nou Camp's reconstruction, which includes unfinished top tiers and a roof, is currently ongoing.
In other news from Uefa's executive committee, the 2028 Champions League final has been confirmed for Bayern Munich's Allianz Arena. This will be the Allianz Arena's second time hosting the final in just three years, having also hosted the 2025 edition.
Wembley has a rich history of hosting the event, having staged it eight times overall since the European Cup began, including in 2011, 2013, and 2024. This season's final is scheduled to take place at Atletico Madrid's Metropolitano stadium.
