Where is the Champions League 2021 final?

The 2021 Champions League final will be the Ataturk Olympic Stadium in Istanbul, Turkey.

The Ataturk Olympic Stadium was originally set to host the 2020 final, but due to restrictions imposed by the Covid-19 pandemic, it was instead held at the Estadio da Luz in Lisbon, Portugal.

The stadium was the venue for the 2005 Champions League final between Liverpool and AC Milan, in which the Reds staged one of the most memorable Champions League final comebacks of all-time when they overcame a 3-0 deficit after half-time to ultimately win the game.

Will fans be allowed to attend Champions League 2021 final?

UEFA has lifted their cap on fans attending stadiums and supporters are allowed to travel to the Champions League final.

On October 1 2020, UEFA announced that they would only allow 30 per cent of spectators to attend games.

They have since reversed their decision, but now the responsibility will lie with the Turkish government on how many fans will be allowed to attend, and what supporters need to provide upon entry into the country – e.g. a negative Covid-19 test, or proof of vaccination.

The 2020 final contested between Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern was contested behind closed doors to no fans in Lisbon.
