European soccer’s governing body, the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA), has moved this year’s Champions League final from St Petersburg, Russia to Paris, France in the wake of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

UEFA in a statement on Friday said the home games of Ukrainian and Russian clubs and national teams competing in UEFA competitions would be played at neutral venues “until further notice”.

The governing body thanked French President Emmanuel Macron for his “personal support and commitment” in taking on the final.

It added that it would “fully support multi-stakeholder efforts to ensure the provision of rescue for football players and their families in Ukraine who face dire human suffering, destruction and displacement”.

The 2021/22 UEFA Men’s Champions League final will now move from Saint Petersburg to Stade de France in Saint-Denis.

The Champions League final was scheduled for May 28 with thousands of supporters from across the continent expected to attend the showcase match in European club soccer.

The St Petersburg stadium is known as the Gazprom Stadium following a sponsorship deal with Russia’s state energy company, which also sponsors the Champions League and UEFA’s Euro 2024 national team competition.

The move to strip St Petersburg of the final follows calls from a group of European lawmakers who asked UEFA on Thursday to change the venue and stop considering Russian cities for major international soccer competitions. Read full story
