Russia’s invasion of Ukraine prompts UEFA action
The Executive Committee of European football’s governing body today held an extraordinary meeting following what UEFA described as the “grave escalation of the security situation in Europe”.
Having originally been due to be played at Gazprom Arena, home of Russian Premier League club Zenit Saint Petersburg, this season’s Champions League final will now be held at the Stade de France in the Saint-Denis commune of the French capital. The game will be played as initially scheduled on May 28 at 9pm CET.
UEFA said in a statement: “UEFA wishes to express its thanks and appreciation to French Republic President Emmanuel Macron for his personal support and commitment to have European club football’s most prestigious game moved to France at a time of unparalleled crisis.
“Together with the French government, UEFA will fully support multi-stakeholder efforts to ensure the provision of rescue for football players and their families in Ukraine who face dire human suffering, destruction and displacement.”
