In particular, the European Football Association has called an extraordinary meeting and is expected to do sodecide before the weekend whether to change seats in the Champions League final.
The venue of the final is the “Gazprom Arena”, the main sponsor of the event is Gazprom, but at the same time most of the shares in the energy giant belong to the Russian state.
Several seating options are being considered, including Wembley, which has been offered at every event for years. The odds are slim, however, as four days later he’s hosting the “young” Finalissima, the Intercontinental national team that meets European champions Italy and South American champions Argentina. In addition, the imposing London Stadium will host the League Two and Championship playoff finals on May 28th and 29th respectively.
