Lisbon to host WCL 2025 final. Athens and Wroclaw win Conference League gigs

June 29 - Portugal's capital, Lisbon, will host the 2025 Women's Champions League, with Athens and Wroclaw hosting the next two Europa Conference League finals.

UEFA's executive committee announced the decisions on Wednesday.

After the 2020 and 2021 Champions League finals in Portugal, a grand final returns to the country and to the Estadio Jose Alvalade.

Athens and Wroclaw will host the 2024 and 2025 Europa Conference League finals respectively, although the final at Athens' Agia Sofia Stadium, AEK Athens' new home ground, is subject to the delivery of international keys and UEFA fixtures.

UEFA said that as the Athens stadium is brand new and not yet operated by the club for international matches, they will keep it under a period of observation until November 2023 with particular attention to the matches played by AEK Athens in the UEFA club competition and by the Greek national team during the EURO 2024 qualifiers.

If all goes well, Athens will be confirmed as the venue in December.

In other decisions, UEFA awarded the 2025 UEFA Women's Under-19 Championship to Poland and confirmed the format for the 2026 World Cup qualifiers with the 12 group winners ensuring their passage to the tournament directly, and the 12 finalists as well as the four highest ranked group winners of the 2024/25 UEFA Nations League who did not qualify directly, taking part in the qualifiers in March 2026.

Cyprus will host UEFA's next executive committee in September.
