Hungary bids to host the Champions League final

The Hungarian Football Association has submitted its official bid to the European governing body for the 2026 or 2027 Champions League final by the 15 November deadline.

MLSZ spokesman Jenő Sipos told M1 news channel on Tuesday that the first two finals that could be bid for were the 2026 and 2027 finals, for which UEFA had received letters of intent from Hungary and Italy. Both countries submitted official bids by the 15 November deadline and will be evaluated by the European federation in February, which will also make comments and proposals.

UEFA will announce the hosts of the two BL finals next May.

Sándor Csányi, president of the Hungarian Football Association, indicated at the association’s general assembly in April that they would bid for the next available UEFA Champions League finals. According to him, the advantage is that UEFA is fully satisfied with the organisation of international matches, while the disadvantage is that there are much bigger stadiums.

“We will bid until we win,”

Csányi told the assembly.

As we wrote before, Budapest temporarily became the football capital of the world, when the Europa League final kicked off in front of a sold-out Puskás stadium, details HERE.
