Camp Nou has been selected to host the 2029 UEFA Champions League final, beating Wembley in UEFA’s bidding process. Munich’s Allianz Arena will stage the 2028 final, while the 2027 final—not the 2024 final—will be held at Atlético Madrid’s Estadio Metropolitano.
UEFA’s Executive Committee confirmed the host venues at its September 15 meeting in Thessaloniki, Greece. Camp Nou will host the men’s showpiece for the third time, following finals in 1989 and 1999. The 2029 event will be the first at the renovated stadium and the first Champions League final in Barcelona for 30 years.
The stadium was chosen ahead of Wembley after UEFA assessed the bids. The selection reflects confidence that Barcelona’s redevelopment will be completed to the required standard in time for the final, though the exact eventual capacity and construction timetable remain matters for FC Barcelona and local authorities rather than UEFA’s final-hosting announcement.
Camp Nou’s prior Champions League final is among the competition’s most famous. In 1999, Manchester United scored through Teddy Sheringham and Ole Gunnar Solskjær in stoppage time to overturn Bayern Munich’s 1–0 lead and win 2–1. The stadium also hosted the 1989 final, when AC Milan defeated Steaua Bucharest 4–0.
Munich’s Allianz Arena, officially called the Munich Football Arena in UEFA competition branding, will host the 2028 final on May 27. It will be the venue’s third men’s Champions League final after Chelsea beat Bayern on penalties in 2012 and Paris Saint-Germain defeated Inter Milan 5–0 in 2025. Munich was the only bidder for the 2028 showpiece.
The original reference to the “2024 final” should be removed. The 2024 Champions League final was played at Wembley, where Real Madrid beat Borussia Dortmund 2–0. Atlético Madrid’s Metropolitano will host the 2027 final, followed by Munich in 2028 and Camp Nou in 2029.
Spain, Portugal and Morocco are set to co-host the 2030 World Cup, so the 2029 final will also give Barcelona a major operational test ahead of that tournament. However, UEFA has not presented the Camp Nou decision as a statement about any wider political reconciliation following the Super League dispute. That interpretation is speculative and should not be stated as fact without direct evidence from UEFA or FC Barcelona.
