UEFA will move the Champions League final from Russian city St Petersburg on Friday due to the escalating situation in Ukraine.
The final was due to take place at the 68,000-capacity Gazprom Arena in St Petersburg on May 28 but UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin has called an «extraordinary meeting» of the Executive Committee for Friday to confirm the decision to move the match.
It is unclear whether the governing body will confirm a new venue for the final.

Can they stop now with this black lives matter and promote Ukrainian lives matter
From Russias perspective, this is like when you pretend to be sick so you can stay home from school, but then you realise that you're watching a movie in class.
To be detailed – it's not ukraine crisis – It is Russian aggression!! Let us be very clear!
Good
good because if uefa didnt move it, teams would not have gone to russia anyway
BAN RUSSIA FROM ANY INTERNATIONAL SPORT COMPETITION !!!!
Make sure gazprom paid full sponsorship if not,who gonna paid the winner
Soccer = Politics
UEFA, and FIFA sucks. Qatar with controversy and no cancelation. SHAME!!!
Putin is an ego greedy Tyrant.
Good, now kick their domestic teams and national teams out of all competitions next.
Russia need to be kicked out from every single competition they are competing in isolate them all
Going to istanbul
Fifa should ban Russia
Well done! Solidarity with Ukraine
Not point moving it. If people really think there's going to be a final this year need there heads checked we will all be at war
For anyone seeing this video now
It’s been moved to the stade de France in Paris
No pressure to PSG then
So it does what the sanctions against russia do. They will not cut off Russia from the swift system, so here uefa will not cut off from gazprom, because for them only money and interests count, not human life … I'm spitting uefa on you
Only the triple jabbed can get tickets ? ? ? ?
This will finish Putin. Well done
move it to England
Good Decision kick out Russia from uefa
Hey F1, take the hint and confirm that the Russian GP is off. Also, INDYCAR move your damn race from St Petersburg as well. If no one is going to bomb Putin back into the stone age let's at least make him hurt where it matters to him most; on the international stage and in the wallet.
Move it to Celtic park in Glasgow, none of you ever considered that stadium to be amongst the elite of footballing arena's did you?
Cool.
Now do Beijing and Qatar.
Oh wait….
Last years final was due to be played in the same stadium in Russia but due to covid was moved to portugal even though 2 English teams wer in final.
The man who is technically at the top of Russian football and on UEFAs top table who make the calls oh and is also top of the tree for Gazprom the biggest sponsor for the CL and was part of Zenit st Petersburg board wer the CL should have been played.
The 2018 World Cup and the F1 / Winter Olympics wer never won by corruption and was all done legally haha
Bring the final to Uganda e'Wankulukuku
Good move and stop every team in Russia from participating
This makes Putin very angry. More than the current sanctions. 🙁
Road berlin
could really use a mean tweet in exchange for world peace right now
they should just move it to Kiev in defiance of Mother Russia….
it a war not crisis
Why tho there's no war in St. Petersburg. Doing this will just further intertwine football with politics.
Never mind UEFA…FIFA should be removing Russia from the world cup and all football competitions….no one should be playing any Russian in any sport.
GO TO ENGLAND WE ALREADY KNOW IT WILL BE TWO ENGLISH TEAMS ANYWAYS LOL
