UEFA Shuffles Big Matches: Madrid Gets Men’s Champions Final, But Wait for That Italian-Spanish Shenanigan
Oh, look, the bigwigs at UEFA have finally picked their playgrounds for 2027—Estadio Metropolitano in Madrid for the men’s Champions League final, and some spot in Warsaw for the women’s one. It’s all very official, but let’s be real, who’s surprised? The suits met in Tirana and rubber-stamped it like they always do. Meanwhile, Salzburg gets to host the 2026 Supercoppa, probably because it’s everyone’s second choice anyway. “Lo ha deciso il Comitato esecutivo Uefa, riunitosi oggi a Tirana.”
They also dug into those cheeky requests from the Spanish and Italian soccer feds—wanting to play domestic league games outside their own borders, even beyond UEFA’s turf. It’s like they’re trying to turn soccer into a globetrotting circus, but UEFA isn’t biting just yet.

Mondiale U20, Italia eliminata agli ottavi: gli Stati Uniti schiantano gli azzurrini 3-0 e volano ai quarti. Gioco da rifondare.

De Bruyne chiude le porte al Belgio: “Tornare non ha senso, resto qui per vincere”
So, no green light today; they’re kicking the can down the road with more talks involving fans and everyone else who might whine about it. It’s their way of saying, “We’ll pretend to care before we make a call.” On a brighter note, they’ve tweaked the rules for the 2025-26 men’s club comps—now you can sub in a player for long-term injuries or illnesses up to the sixth matchday. “Questo per garantire che le liste dei convocati non vengano ingiustamente ridotte e che i giocatori siano tutelati da un carico di lavoro aggiuntivo.” Because apparently, protecting overworked stars is the hot topic these days.
All in all, UEFA’s playing it safe, as usual, with decisions that might just keep the game rolling without too much drama—or excitement, for that matter. #UEFA #ChampionsLeague #SoccerDrama
