The 2021-2022 Champions League final should be impacted by current events. Indeed, while the meeting is scheduled for May 28, 2022 at the Gazprom Arena in Saint Petersburg, the war between Ukraine and Russia has prompted UEFA to change plans with a new venue. This morning, UEFA announced that Paris will finally host this event!
The 2021/22 UEFA Men’s Champions League final will move from Saint Petersburg to Stade de France in Saint-Denis.
The game will be played as initially scheduled on Saturday 28 May at 21:00 CET.
