Cardiff's Principality Stadium, which has a seating capacity of 73,931, will welcome Europe's elite female football talents in 2029. The venue previously hosted the men's Champions League final between Real Madrid and Juventus in 2017. This marks a return to Cardiff for the Champions League final, nine years after Cardiff City Stadium hosted the women's final between Paris Saint-Germain and Lyon in 2020.
The Cardiff city centre venue will be renamed National Stadium of Wales for the event, in line with Uefa sponsorship rules. This move is part of the FAW's ambition to transform women's and girls' football in Wales. As stated by FAW chief executive Noel Mooney, "It's brilliant news for Cymru and the FAW and the journey that we're on, particularly in the women's game."
Earlier this year, Principality Stadium hosted the FA Community Shield, with Arsenal defeating Manchester City 3-0. The stadium's owner, the Welsh Rugby Union (WRU), has expressed its delight at being selected to host the 2029 Uefa women's Champions League final. Uefa have also confirmed Munich will host the 2028 men's Champions League final with Barcelona staging the final a year later.
