Due to the escalation in the military conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the UEFA announces they will officially move to the Champions League final.
The speculation of this report started earlier this week after Russian President Vladamir Putin released a statement regarding Ukrainian territory.
Today, an invasion from 3 separate locations was carried out by Russia, leading to the change.
With the respective countries taking part in the World Cup in March, the situation was a topic of conversation in a Fifa council meeting on Thursday.
They stated that they will monitor the situation, calling on all parties not to resort to violence, but rather attempt to “restore peace through constructive dialogue.”
This is too impacting the leagues domestically, as Ukraine’s football league, currently on winter break, will remain on hiatus as well until issues are resolved. Russia’s Grand Prix is also being suggested as the next domino to fall following the news.
As the location of the new venue is unknown, it was rumored that London’s Wembley Stadium is at the top of the list to host the final showdown.
