Key Facts

  • (0:59) 9:32 AM UTC * Mark OgdenSenior Writer, ESPN FC London's Wembley Stadium is unlikely to be considered as a potential venue for this season's Champions League final in the event of the fixture being moved from the Russian city of Saint Petersburg, sources have told ESPN.
  • Sources have told ESPN that, while it is highly likely that the Champions League final will be moved from Saint Petersburg if tensions escalate or remain unresolved, the organisation will work closely with the EU and adhere to any sanctions which may be imposed on Russia.
  • But with more than three months to go before the Champions League final is due to take place, UEFA are planning to carefully assess alternative host venues before making a decision on where the game will be played.
  • Alternative venues in London, including the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and West Ham's London Stadium, could be considered by UEFA, but sources have told ESPN that the key criteria for any substitute venue centre on it being a major European city with the stadium, transport links, infrastructure and accommodation to cater for around 100,000 visiting supporters.
