San Siro Loses Champions League Final Hosting Rights as UEFA Seeks New Venue

UEFA has officially revoked the hosting rights for the 2027 Champions League final originally slated to take place at the historic San Siro stadium in Milan.

The Milan-based venue has been deemed unsuitable due to planned renovations.

The Municipality of Milan failed to provide assurances that the stadium and its surroundings would not be disrupted by the refurbishments, leading UEFA to seek an alternative location for the final.

The San Siro, which seats over 75,000 fans and is shared by AC Milan and Inter Milan, is undergoing major modernization as part of preparations for Italy’s potential hosting of Euro 2032.

Both clubs have supported the stadium’s overhaul, which is necessary for hosting future international tournaments.

The San Siro has a rich history in football, having hosted the Champions League final twice, in 2001 and 2016, as well as European Cup finals in 1965 and 1970.

It has also been the venue for World Cup matches in 1934 and 1990, and the 1980 Euros.

In 2026, it is scheduled to host the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics.

UEFA’s decision to move the 2027 final is based on the uncertainty surrounding the stadium’s renovation timeline.

UEFA is expected to announce a new location for the 2027 Champions League final by June next year.
