UEFA refused to grant the new stadium Atletico Vanda Metropolitano the right to host the final of the Champions League in 2019.

Despite the fact that officially the host of the final match of the Champions League of the season-2018/2019 will be announced on Wednesday, September 20, already on the eve of this date, the European Football Union decided to reject the candidacy of the new stadium Atletico Vanda Metropolitano in this honor..

As the host of the program El Transistor on radio Onda Cero, Jose Ramon de la Morena, the reason that one of the most modern arenas in Europe was refused, was the insufficient number of VIP seats - only seven thousand.

The main competitor of Wanda Metropolitano was the Olympic Stadium in Baku, and now he will host the final of the Champions League 2019. Also candidates were Ramon Sanchez Pisjuan (Sevilla) and Vodafone Arena (Besiktas). Madrid also claimed the final of 2018, but lost the competition to the Kiev NSC Olympic.
