THE NATION
The UEFA confirmed that there is no plan to move the 2022 Champions League Final from Gazprom Arena in St Petersburg, Russia, despite the threat of a Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Reports had claimed that Wembley Stadium was being considered as a possible alternative venue, but the UEFA insisted the match would go ahead in Russia as planned.
The final will take place at Gazprom Arena, the home ground of Russian giants Zenit.
The UEFA said it would continue to closely monitor the situation amid expectations of an imminent Russian invasion of neighbouring Ukraine.
