The Women's Champions League final will be held at the Groupama Stadium in Lyon, France, in 2028, according to a recent announcement by UEFA, the governing body of European football. This decision was made on Tuesday, September 15, and marks the selection of the Groupama Stadium, home to the French club OL Lyon, as the venue for the prestigious women's competition. The stadium, which opened in January 2016 in the town of Décines-Charpieu near Lyon, has already hosted several major international events, including the 2018 Europa League final, the 2019 Women's World Cup final, and matches from both men's and women's tournaments at the 2024 Olympic Games. Michele Kang, president of OL and OL Lyon, expressed pride in the selection, stating that it reflects the club's long-term efforts and the strong support of its fans. She emphasized that the club will strive to create an unforgettable experience for players and spectators in 2028, aiming to inspire future generations of footballers and fans alike. In addition to Lyon's selection for 2028, UEFA has also announced that the national stadium of Wales, located in Cardiff, will host the Women's Champions League final in 2029. This will be the first time the Welsh stadium hosts the women's final, twelve years after it was chosen for the men's final in 2017, when Real Madrid defeated Juventus. The decision to host the Women's Champions League final in Lyon and then in Cardiff highlights the growing importance of the women's competition in European football. As the tournament continues to gain popularity, the selection of iconic and well-equipped venues underscores the increasing investment in and recognition of women's football across the continent.
