A final of the Champions League in the United States could be held after it was revealed that UEFA has entered exclusive negotiations with the organization of rights of American media Revent.
Until now, the latest Games of the Annual Club Football Tournament have been held only in Europe, with the legendary Wembley Stadium organizing a record number of eight finals in total.
The next final of the 2024-25 Champions League, after the first season under the new Swiss format, will be played in Allianz Arena in Munich on May 31, 2025.
However, according to the IndependentA new commercial agreement between UEFA, the European Club Association and the relevant sports could result in the finals being played in the United States.

If your dealings with US giants are completed, the end between UEFA and the agency team based in Switzerland would mean.
In recent years, they have been known for their associations with the Premier League, the Championship and LaLiga.
In 2022, UEFA granted its partner team marketing for a long time with its global rights between 2024 and 2027.
However, in an unexpected action, Revent won lucrative rights in the United States after its guarantees at least 201 million to complete the agreement.
Now, the organization goes further in its attempt to build a stronger relationship with UEFA, in an agreement that could mark the end of the European giant pact with the team.
It is understood that emerging news has caused a state of shock and anger with the team, while up to 170 jobs will be at risk.
The UEFA Declaration, informed by The Independent, said: 'The Board of UC3, the joint company between UEFA and the European Association of the Club (ECA) agreed to celebrate an exclusive period of negotiation with relevant sports on the global commercial rights of UEFA UEFA Male Club Competitions for the 2027-2033 period.
“The decision follows an open bidding process, launched last summer, which attracted offers of several global and regional agencies.”
Last year, FIFA agreed that the association could consider changing its policy regarding the league matches played in other countries. Currently, these types of games are blocked.
In addition, in April 2024, in the Podcast Men In Blazers, the president of the UEFA, Aleksander Ceferin, said: 'It is possible (the Champions League could be in the United States). We begin to discuss that, but one year is the World Cup, 2024 is Euro, this year is Istanbul, '24 in London, '25 in Munich. And after that, let's see. It is possible, it is possible.

'Soccer is extremely popular in the United States these days. Americans are willing to pay this amount (high gestures with their hand) for the best and nothing for less.
'It is a very important and promising market for the future. The point is that we are selling rights very well. The sponsorship is so-so for now from the United States, but here (in the USA) the commercialization is completely different from Europe. They (Americans) are much more talented for what we (Europeans).
Previously, in addition to the Games of the Champions League, US officials showed interest in bringing several LaLiga games with clubs such as Barcelona, Atlético de Madrid and Girona.
The United States, together with Mexico and Canada, will be scheduled for Co-Emprerion of the 2026 World Cup, while the first two are also launching an attempt to organize the 2027 Women's Tournament.
