Where is the 2023 Champions League final?

Turkey will host the 2023 Champions League final, with the game held at the Ataturk Olympic Stadium in Istanbul.

The venue was opened in 2002, initially built for the country’s attempt to host the 2008 Olympics, which was ultimately awarded to Beijing, China.

Home to the Turkish national team, it will be the second time the ground has held the Champions League final, having been the location for the epic 2005 encounter between AC Milan and Liverpool.

Known as the Miracle of Istanbul, the Reds came back from a 3-0 half-time scoreline to win 3-2 on penalties after extra-time.

Istanbul had been scheduled to host the 2020 showpiece, before the coronavirus pandemic resulted in the match being played at the Estadio da Luz in Lisbon, Portugal.

Then in 2021, the marquee fixture was once again moved to Portugal, this time to the Estadio do Dragao in Porto.

UEFA state the stadium capacity to be over 75,000, with the venue named after Mustafa Kemal Ataturk — the first president of Turkey.
