BUDAPEST: The Puskas Arena in Budapest, home to the Hungary national team, will host the 2026 Champions League final, European soccer governing body UEFA said on Wednesday after its executive committee met in Dublin.

The decision on the venue for the 2027 final has been postponed until September subject to the Italian football federation submitting information on refurbishment plans for the San Siro stadium in Milan, UEFA said in a statement. The 2026 Women’s Champions League final will be held at Oslo’s Ullevaal Stadion, the committee decided.
