Milan Capital of Football: Real Madrid VS Atlético de Madrid
For one night, Milan will once again be the capital of world football. The San Siro Stadium will host the UEFA Champions League final to crown the best European team, between Real Madrid and Atlético de Madrid. It will be the fourth time that the European Cup has been decided at the stadium after 1965, 1970 and 2001.
The Stadium, first opened in 1926, is home to two of the world’s most legendary teams, namely Inter Milan and AC Milan. In 1965, Inter Milan won the first European Cup final to be held at the stadium against Benfica. To mark the event and thanks to recent renovations, the Meazza Stadium will most definitely be suitably ‘dressed’ for the occasion.
Unmissable: between the 26 and 29 May, the official UEFA Champions Festival will be held between Piazza Duomo and Castello Sforzesco. The festival envisions numerous day and nighttime football-themed activities for families and fans alike, including competitions, meetings with past tournament winners, matches starring football legends, a UEFA Museum of Champions featuring memorabilia and videos from past tournaments, coaching courses for kids and concerts.
For the occasion, Adidas has designed the special ball Finale Milano, to be used during all final matches, while an official UEFA Champions League App will guide football fans through the entire event.
Unfortunately, the UEFA Champions Festival (M1, red line – M3, yellow line Duomo) WILL NOT OFFER a widescreen for public viewing, but only a full series of themed events lasting over 4 days. >> Learn more on UEFA Champions Festival
