“UEFA is constantly and closely monitoring the situation,” explained the entity, noting that “at the moment there are no plans to move the venue” of the tournament final to the Krestovsky Stadium, also known as Gazprom Stadium, one of the venues of the World Cup hosted by Russia in 2018.
The clarification responds to versions released by different media outlets that pointed to a possible change for the final, scheduled for May 28, reported ANSA.
The London Stadium Wembley (England) is one of the optional venues indicated by the British newspaper Daily Star.
Precisely the English prime minister, Boris Johnson, criticized UEFA’s decision to keep the final in Saint Petersburg.
“It is inconceivable. There is no chance that an increasingly isolated Russia can host a sporting competition like the Champions League final,” he said.
