The legendary Fußball Arena München in Munich will host the 2024–2025 UEFA Champions League grand finale on Saturday, May 31, 2025.
There’s a tangible excitement for the championship match in this iconic location as the best clubs in Europe get ready for yet another fierce season of competition.
The 70th season of Europe’s most prestigious club tournament will culminate in the 2025 final, which will return to the German city for the first time since 2012. This is the season where football history is meant to be made.
The English team Chelsea FC defeated the home team Bayern Munich on penalties in the 2012 UCL final, which was the last one held at the Munich Stadium.
On Thursday, August 29, in Monaco, the draw will take place for this eagerly awaited league phase.
When the most prestigious club competition in world football, the 2024–25 UEFA Champions League, concludes at Munich’s Fußball Arena München, history will be made.
This was revealed in a different release that was obtained from the club website on Thursday.
The highlight of European football’s club calendar returns to the German city for the first time since 2012.
“The Fußball Arena München took less than three years to build from start to finish and was completed on 30 April 2005. It was conceived following a referendum in October 2001, when 65.8% of Munich’s citizens voted to construct a new arena rather than regenerate the Olympiastadion, the venue for the 1972 Summer Olympic Games.
“The ground staged the 2006 FIFA World Cup opening match between Germany and Costa Rica before hosting three further group fixtures as well as a round of 16 tie and France’s semi-final win against Portugal.
“The stadium has seen its fair share of drama since it first opened for business, not least the final of the 2012 Champions League when Chelsea defied home advantage to beat Bayern on penalties,” it read partly.
The UEFA Champions League trophy is 7.5 kg in weight and 73.5 cm tall. Jürg Stadelmann, the creator, said, “Everyone in football is keen to get their hands on it, even though it may not be an artistic masterpiece.”
In the 2025 UEFA Super Cup, the winners will have the opportunity to compete against the 2024–25 UEFA Europa League winners.
In the event that they have not qualified through their home competition, they will also receive a spot in the league stage phase of the 2025–2026 UEFA Champions League.
