Renovated Nou Camp receives 2028/29 Champions League final

dnoticias.pt15 September 2026 at 11:26

The renovated Nou Camp, stadium of FC Barcelona, will host the 2028/29 Champions League final, having won the bid against Wembley in London in the race to host the event. UEFA announced today this decision made by its Executive Committee.

This will be the second time the Catalan venue hosts the decision of the main European club competition, 20 years after the historic 1998/99 final, in which Manchester United defeated Bayern Munich 2-1 with two goals scored in stoppage time.

The Nou Camp is currently undergoing renovation, which will allow the venue to be in conditions to host an event of this magnitude within six sporting seasons.

The UEFA Executive Committee also confirmed that the Allianz Arena, stadium of Bayern Munich, was equally selected to host a future final of the competition, although the information in the article is incomplete.

Why this matters

Readers in Barcelona and the Catalonia region benefit directly from this decision, which will bring tourist flow and economic investment to the city, in addition to local sporting pride. The choice of the renovated Camp Nou once again as the stage for a European final confirms the relevance of Spanish football and the Catalan club on the international stage.
