Istanbul to host 2020 Champions League final

Ataturk Olympic Stadium in Istanbul will host the 2020 Champions League final, UEFA has confirmed.

The 76,000-capacity venue in the Turkish city hosted the showpiece in 2005, when Liverpool triumphed on penalties against AC Milan after battling to a 3-3 draw from 3-0 down at half-time.

UEFA confirmed the news at their Executive Committee meeting on Thursday, which took place in Kiev - where this year's final will be held.

As well as the Champions League final venue, the governing body revealed that Arena Gdansk in Poland will stage the Europa League final in the same year, with the UEFA Super Cup taking place at Porto's Estadio do Dragao.
