UEFA Reopens Bidding for 2027 Champions League Final

UEFA has decided to re-open the bidding process for the 2027 Champions League final after stripping the San Siro in Milan of its hosting rights due to uncertainties surrounding the stadium's refurbishment plans. The Municipality of Milan could not guarantee that the refurbishment would not impact the stadium and its surrounding area during the scheduled period for the final. As a result, UEFA's executive committee has opted to find a new venue, with a decision expected by May or June 2025. The San Siro, shared by AC Milan and Inter Milan, is set to undergo significant renovations, with both clubs considering building new stadiums. The final was originally awarded to the San Siro, but ongoing political and logistical issues have led to this change.
