Story summary
UEFA announced that Barcelona's renovated Camp Nou stadium will host the 2029 UEFA Champions League final, beating out Wembley Stadium in London. This decision comes just one year before Spain co-hosts the 2030 World Cup with Portugal and Morocco. The rebuilt Camp Nou, which has a capacity of 105,000, is currently under construction, with its upper tier and roof still being completed. Barcelona last hosted the Champions League final in 1999, while Wembley has hosted eight times since the competition's inception 71 years ago, including three times since 2011. Additionally, UEFA confirmed that Bayern Munich’s stadium will host the 2028 Champions League final after being the sole bidder for this event.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political
question, so it has no leaning score. That is an
answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly
or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it
anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political
position.
