Report: Champions League Final to be Moved From Istanbul

The Champions League final, which was set to be played at Ataturk Olympic Stadium in Istanbul on May 30, will not be held there due to the coronavirus pandemic, according to The New York Times.

UEFA, European soccer's governing body and the event's organizer, is "considering a number of alternative venues" as it looks to finish the competition. The tournament was in the midst of its round of 16 when it was suspended in mid-March due to the virus.

With national leagues beginning to resume, UEFA is discussing how to finish the Champions League and Europa League in August.
