UEFA Statement
“The Champions League Final is moving to Portugal to allow the participation of 6,000 fans from each team,” says Ufa. The final was originally scheduled to be held at Istanbul’s Ataturk Olympic Stadium, but after the UK government’s decision to include Turkey on the red list of a Covid-19 travel destination, the organization of the final meant that none of the club’s fans could travel to see a challenge.
After a year in which fans were closed from stadiums, UEFA believed it was imperative to do everything to ensure the fans of the two finalists were involved. Moreover, UEFA discussed moving the match to England, but despite the strenuous efforts of the Football Association and the authorities, it was not possible to obtain the necessary exemptions from the quarantine agreements in the United Kingdom.

Finally, UEFA announces: “The Portuguese authorities and the FPF have intervened and cooperated quickly and smoothly with UEFA to provide a suitable venue for the Final, and since Portugal is a destination on the Green List of England, the fans and players participating in the Final will not have to enter quarantine when Return home.
The decision did not come without great regret for the work done by the Turkish soccer authorities over the past two years to ensure the success of the final match in Istanbul. UEFA also expresses its gratitude for their continuous cooperation and spirit of cooperation, as well as the understanding they have shown in this particular circumstance, and will urgently discuss future opportunities for Istanbul.
