In an interview with the North American podcast, Aleksander Ceferin, president of Uefa, admits that it is possible for the United States to host a Champions League final
Alexander Ceferinpresident of uefaadmitted that a final Champions League can be played away from the European continent, something that has never happened in history. As of 2026, this possibility can be considered and perhaps realized. In an interview with the North American podcast ‘Men in Blazers‘, the leader was asked about it and signaled positively.
In the interview, Ceferin was asked if the big Champions League decision could be played especially in the United States, which did not generate a definite answer, but that stimulated hope. “It’s possible. We started to argue about it, but you know… one year it was the World Cup, in 2024 there is the Euro”said the president of UEFA.
Despite having signaled positively about this issue, the only certainty is that this decision away from Europe may only happen from 2026 onwards. That’s because the finals of this and the next two editions have already been defined. “This year is in Istanbul, in 2024 in London, in 2025 in Munich. After that, we’ll see.” considered the leader.
So far, in the 66 editions of the Champions League, none of them had a decision based in a country that does not belong to Europe. However, clubs are used to making trips to other continents to play pre-season tournaments. United States, Saudi Arabia, Japan and Mexico are some of the destinations that great teams have already prepared.
For the 2022/2023 season, the final has not yet been defined, but it will take place on June 10, at Atatürk Olympic Stadium, in Istanbul, capital of Türkiye. However, before that, the semifinals will have to be played to know the finalists. Real Madrid It is manchester city face each other, while Milan It is Inter Milan they lock one classic Italian from the other.
