-By Saidu Abubakar

The cynosure of all eyes is Atatürk Olympic Stadium in Istanbul, Turkey, venue of the 2021 UEFA Champions League final between English clubs – Manchester City (in their first UEFA Champions League final) and three-time finalists Chelsea on on 29 May 2021, Valuechain reports.

The final will Mark the climax of the 2020–21 UEFA Champions League, the 66th season of Europe’s premier club football tournament organised by UEFA, and the 29th season since it was renamed from the European Champion Clubs’ Cup to the UEFA Champions League.

The final was originally scheduled to be played at the Krestovsky Stadium in Saint Petersburg, Russia. However, due to the postponement and relocation of the 2020 final to Lisbon, the final hosts were shifted back a year, with Istanbul instead hosting the 2021 final, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic in Europe.

The winners, Valuechain reports, will earn the right to play against the winners of the 2020–21 UEFA Europa League in the 2021 UEFA Super Cup, and qualify for the 2021 FIFA Club World Cup in Japan.

They will also qualify to enter the group stage of the 2021–22 UEFA Champions League, and if they have already qualified through their league performance, the berth reserved will be given to the champions of the 11th-ranked association according to next season’s access list.
