UEFA has officially confirmed that Atletico Madrid’s Estadio Metropolitano will host the 2027 UEFA Champions League Final, marking another historic milestone for the Spanish capital. The state-of-the-art stadium, inaugurated in 2017, has already proven itself on the grandest stage when it hosted the 2019 Champions League Final between Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur.
The Metropolitano, with a capacity of over 68,000, is one of Europe’s most modern football arenas and serves as the home ground of Atletico Madrid. Known for its cutting-edge facilities, impressive design, and electrifying atmosphere, the stadium has become a symbol of footballing excellence in Spain.
The last time Madrid hosted the Champions League Final at the Metropolitano, Liverpool triumphed 2-0 over Spurs, with goals from Mohamed Salah and Divock Origi sealing the Reds’ sixth European crown. Eight years later, fans are eagerly awaiting another night of European drama in the Spanish capital.
The decision to award the 2027 final to Madrid reflects UEFA’s commitment to staging its premier competition in world-class venues that offer both a rich football culture and outstanding infrastructure. The city’s excellent transport connections and vibrant footballing history also played a major role in the selection process.
