Wembley to stage 2011 Champions League final

Wembley Stadium has been chosen by UEFA as the venue for the 2011 Champions League final.

The stadium was selected ahead of Munich’s Allianz Arena and Berlin’s Olympiastadion.

The decision in Wembley’s favour was expected – UEFA had previously delayed a decision on the 2011 venue specifically to allow the UK Government time to push through an exemption on tax rules for the players appearing in the final.
