For the second time in the tournament's history and the first since 2008, the final will be staged in Russia. This year's final is being held at the Krestovsky Stadium on Krestovsky Island in Saint Petersburg, Russia.
The stadium is normally called the Gazprom Arena, but for the Champions League final it will be referred to as the Krestovsky Stadium given UEFA's rules on sponsor names for hosts of its events.
The Krestovsky Stadium is a newer facility built ahead of the 2018 World Cup in Russia, and since opening its doors in April 2017 it has been the home of FC Zenit Saint Petersburg, including for their Champions League matches.
It has also served as the venue for a number of international tournaments, including the final of the 2017 Confederations Cup, the third place match of the 2018 World Cup, and a number of matches during Euro 2021, including a quarterfinal.
