Spain has officially been awarded hosting rights for the 2027 UEFA Champions League final, with the showpiece match set to be staged at Atlético Madrid’s Metropolitano Stadium.
Spanish Sports Minister Pilar Alegría confirmed the news on Tuesday, marking a major win for Spanish football and the city of Madrid. The final will return to Spain for the first time since 2019, when Liverpool defeated Tottenham at the same venue.
Opened in 2017, the Metropolitano has quickly established itself as one of Europe's premier football venues, with a capacity of over 68,000 and world-class infrastructure. It previously hosted the 2019 Champions League final and has been home to numerous high-profile domestic and international fixtures.
“This is a great recognition of our ability to host world-class sporting events,” Alegría said. “The Metropolitano is a modern, iconic stadium that represents the passion Spain has for football.”
The announcement reinforces UEFA’s trust in Spain’s hosting capabilities and comes as the country gears up for a co-hosting role in the 2030 FIFA World Cup alongside Portugal and Morocco.
