The venue of the Champions League final each season hosts the two best teams in Europe and sets the scene for history to be made.

Final cities and their stadiums become synonymous with clubs who emerge victorious at the end of the season; Istanbul '05, Rome '09 and Munich '12 are a few that spring to mind.

With the 2022/23 UEFA Champions League speeding towards the final, here's where that game will be held.


Where will the 2022/23 Champions League final take place?

Set to be played out on 10 June 2023, the 2022/23 Champions League final will be held at Istanbul's Ataturk Olympic Stadium.

Straddling two continents, Turkey's largest city homes the Ataturk Olympic Stadium in its western European reaches in the district of Ikitelli. The stadium, opened in 2002, is the country's biggest ground, boasting a capacity of just over 75,000.

It is not unfamiliar to the Champions League, either. The Ataturk Olympic Stadium hosted that 'famous night in Istanbul' all of 17 years ago, as Liverpool pulled off one of the greatest European comebacks to beat Milan in the 2005 Champions League final.

It was scheduled to host the 2020 final between Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich and later the 2021 final between Manchester City and Chelsea, but eventually lost out to Portuguese venues due to COVID-19 restrictions - although it will get its second UCL final this year.

The Ataturk Olympic Stadium has been used by a number of top-flight Turkish sides on a temporary basis, including current residents Faith Karagumruk since their promotion to the Super Lig in 2020, as well as hosting the country's national side.
