Wembley In Line To Host Champions League Final
The new Wembley Stadium is on the shortlist to host the UEFA Champions League final in either 2010 or 2011.
Berlin’s Olympiastadion, the Allianz Arena in Munich, Madrid’s Bernabeu and
the Mestalla in Valencia are the other stadiums in contention.
All of the stadia will be visited by a delegation from European football’s
governing body UEFA this year.
The Champions League finals in 2008 and 2009 will be held at the Luzhniki
Stadium in Moscow and the Stadio Olimpico in Rome respectively.
Additionally, Arsenal’s Emirates Stadium and Dublin’s rebuilt Lansdowne Road
are in contention to host the UEFA Cup final.
Arena AufSchalke in Gelsenkirchen, Espanyol’s Estadi Montjuic in Barcelona,
the Arena Hamburg and the National Stadium in Bucharest are the other stadia
being considered for that competition.
