Uefa president Ceferin raises prospect of playing Champions League final in US

Aleksander Ceferin has indicated that a Champions League final could be played in the United States. Uefa’s president said it was “possible” competitive games in Europe’s premier club competition could be staged there.

Ceferin was asked in an interview with Men In Blazers whether we could see European teams play meaningful games in the US in the next two decades. “It’s possible,” he said. “We started to discuss about that but then one year it was the World Cup, [20]24 is Euro, this year [the final] is [in] Istanbul, ‘24 is London and ‘25 is Munich and after that, let’s see.”

It emerged last September that talks had taken place over a four-team Super Cup being played as a season-opening event in the US from 2024, potentially featuring the champions of Major League Soccer alongside the winners of Uefa’s three men’s club competitions.

Other sports have successfully taken matches into new markets, such as the NFL playing regular-season games in London.
