Wembley snubbed for 2029 Champions League final as Uefa names alternative host
Wembley Stadium will not host the 2029 Champions League final, Uefa confirmed on Tuesday
UEFA has selected Barcelona's revamped Nou Camp to host the 2029 Champions League final, opting for the Spanish club over London's iconic Wembley Stadium. The decision comes as Spain prepares to co-host the 2030 World Cup alongside Portugal and Morocco. The choice leaves Wembley Stadium without a Champions League final since 2024, having previously hosted the event in 2011, 2013, and 2024.
The 2028 Champions League final will be held at Bayern Munich's Allianz Arena, chosen among several applicants. Meanwhile, London's bid to host the 2029 World Athletics Championships, along with Nairobi, Munich, and Rome, was unsuccessful. Kenya's capital city will become the first African city to host the event, with World Athletics president Seb Coe praising the competition and the potential legacy for the continent.
