UEFA may be forced to continue an unpleasant tradition.
In 2020 and 2021, the organization had to move the Champions League final from Istanbul to Portugal due to the coronavirus pandemic, and last year, the prestigious event that was supposed to take place in St. Petersburg was handed over to the French due to the war in Ukraine caused by the Russians.
This year, UEFA is concerned that after the elections in Turkey, there may be chaos and a wave of protests, so on June 10, it will not be safe for football fans from all over Europe to gather at the "Ataturk" stadium.
According to the "Daily Mail," UEFA has already started talks with the Portuguese FA about the possibility of hosting the final at the last minute.
The decisive Champions League match in 2024 will take place in London, and in 2025 it will be held in Munich.
