The Champions League final for the 2021/22 season was scheduled to be played at the Gazprom Arena stadium, located in Saint Petersburg, Russia. The final was scheduled to be played on May 28, 2022 at 9:00 p.m.
All this was thought in a peaceful climate, but today dawned with the beginning of the war between Russia, host of the final of the European competition, and Ukraine. What has caused doubts to arise about where the final of said competition will be held.
Due to these war tensions, it is very likely that Russia will be left without hosting the UEFA Champions League final. UEFA will decide whether or not to keep the current venue.
The president of UEFA, Aleksander Čeferin, has called an emergency meeting for tomorrow at 10:00, so everything points to a change of venue in the Champions League final.
UEFA, on its Twitter page, has publicly and strongly condemned Russia’s ongoing military invasion of Ukraine. Several possible scenarios have already come out to host the Champions League final, the names of London, Munich or Madrid, among others, have come out. Although tomorrow the UEFA decision will be made public.
