Champions League final could be moved to US for first time after Uefa make major change THE PROSPECT of the Champions League Final being played in the USA has grown - after Uefa dumped its long-term media sales arm for an American company.
In 2023, Uefa President Aleksander Ceferin described the idea of the Champions League Final being played in America as “a possibility” although senior Uefa figures then maintained it was not on the agenda.
Uefa and the ECA run the Champions League and other club competitions through their “joint venture” UC3, with the governing body having a 51 per cent stake.
Relevant Sports, created by Miami Dolphins owner Stephen Ross, has organised and run the summer International Champions Cup, regularly involving European and Prem giants, since 2013.
While Prem chiefs have continued to insist that matches will not be played outside the UK - a message reinforced by chief football officer Tony Scholes last week - Uefa have given more mixed messages.
