UEFA decided that the most important European club tournament, the Champions League final in 2017, will be played at the Millennium Stadium in the capital of Wales, Cardiff. This will be the first UEFA Champions League final in Wales, where in 2014 the UEFA Super Cup match between Madrid's Real and Sevilla took place. In this stadium, one of the strongest national rugby teams in the world, the Welsh national rugby team, plays their matches, where several World Rugby Championship matches have been played, and part of the football matches of the 2012 London Olympics took place. Cardiff had bid to host the 2003 Champions League final, but the event took place in Manchester at that time. The stadium holds 74,500 spectators, it was started to be built in 1997 and finished after two years. We remind you that the final of the upcoming Champions League season will take place on May 28, 2016 at the San Siro stadium in Milan. This year the final was played at the Olympic Stadium in Berlin."
