Champions League Final in the US by 2030?
European football has successfully expanded tournaments like the Spanish Super Cup and DFB-Pokal to overseas markets. This prediction asks if UEFA will officially announce that its most prestigious club match, the Champions League Final, will be played in the United States before the end of 2030.
Protecting Tradition vs. Chasing Dollars
The majority 'No' vote reflects the strength of tradition. While UEFA is aggressively monetizing its product (as shown by the new format), moving the pinnacle match outside of Europe faces fierce opposition from fan groups, European clubs, and UEFA members protective of the tournament's history. While lucrative US exhibition matches and pre-season tours are common, the final is a step too far for the current geopolitical and sporting climate, though US hosts for 2034 World Cup is likely to increase the pressure.
