“It Is Possible”: UEFA Champions League Final Could Be Played in USA After 2025, President Admits

• Aleksander Ceferin has revealed that Champions League games could be staged outside of Europe
• The UEFA president discussed the possibility of the UCL final being held across the Atlantic
• Meanwhile, this year's final will be held in Istanbul, Turkey

UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin has thrown light on the possibility of hosting the Champions League final outside of Europe.

Every Champions League final has been staged in Europe to this point. Istanbul will host the main event this year, followed by London and Munich for the other two finals.

However, Ceferin would be open to exporting club football's most important match, with the United States being a top option given the sport's rising popularity in the country and its commercial possibilities, per GOAL.

“It is possible," the 55-year-old football administrator told Men in Blazers, as quoted by talkSPORT.

Aleksander Ceferin was re-elected unopposed for a third term as president of UEFA at a meeting of European football's governing body in Lisbon on Wednesday.

The 55-year-old Slovenian lawyer, first elected in 2016 following the downfall of Frenchman Michel Platini, will remain in the role until 2027.

Ceferin's re-election by acclamation comes after he fought off the breakaway European Super League project during his second term, and he will now oversee the introduction of a new format for the Champions League starting next year.
