JAKARTA - UEFA has confirmed that Madrid or Baku will host the 2027 Champions League final.
The Spanish and Azerbaijani capitals replaced Milan, which was temporarily crossed out of the Champions League final list last month.
The reason is that Milan failed to guarantee that the San Siro, AC Milan and Inter Milan homes, would be in good condition to host matches.
You see, Milan plans to massively restore San Siro. However, they have not been able to confirm that the head of the reconstruction work is complete.
As a result, UEFA reopened the bidding process for the right to provide the venue for the biggest tournament final match in European football.

Two cities, Madrid and Baku, have now submitted an application to UEFA to host the 2027 Champions League final.
Estadio Metropolitano Madrid, home to Atletico Madrid, has been proposed by the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) as a potential venue.
Metropolitano had previously held a Champions League final in 2019. At that time, Liverpool defeated Tottenham Hotspur to win the Lebar Ear trophy for the sixth time.
Real Madrid's Bernabeu Stadium has also held the European Cup or Champions League final four times. The last show took place in 2010.
Azerbaijan has never held a Champions League final and will be the easternmost venue in the tournament's history.
The Baku Olympic Stadium, which Azerbaijan proposed for the 2027 Champions League final, held the Euro 2020 match and hosted the 2019 Europa League final when Chelsea beat Arsenal.
UEFA will announce a confirmed venue in May 2025. Allianz Arena in Munich (2025) and Puskas Arena in Budapest (2026) have been confirmed as the host stadium for the next two Champions League finals.
Meanwhile, the Warsaw National Stadium, Camp Nou in Barcelona, St. Jakob Park in Basel, Switzerland, and the Principality Stadium at Cardiff have all made bids to host the 2027 Women's Champions League final.
