THE AVIVA STADIUM has missed out on hosting the 2029 Women’s Champions League final, with Cardiff’s Principality Stadium being selected instead.
The Dublin stadium was one of four venues in the running, with Lyon and Basel also part of the shortlist.
The Aviva Stadium has previously hosted the Europa League finals in 2011 and 2024, but will not now host the Women’s Champions League decider in three years time. Lyon has been selected to host the final in 2028.

Munich last hosted the Champions League final in 2025, when Paris Saint-Germain claimed their first title with a 5-0 victory over Inter Milan.
The last Champions League final played at Camp Nou was in 1999, a game that ended with Manchester United scoring twice in stoppage time to beat Bayern Munich 2-1.

Spain will thus once again take centre stage, just two years after the 2027 final, which is already scheduled to take place at the Metropolitano in Madrid.
The Europa League final will be in Bucharest in 2028 and Belgrade in 2029. The Conference League finals have been awarded to Turin for 2028 and Budapest in 2029.
The Uefa Super Cup will take place in Amsterdam in 2027 and in Astana in 2028.
