SATURDAY

CAPITAL OF FOOTBALL For one night, Milan will once 28 again be the capital of world football. The San Siro Stadium will host the UEFA Champions League final to crown the best European team.

It will be the fourth time that the European Cup has been decided at the stadium after 1965, 1970 and 2001. The Stadium, first opened in 1926, is home to two of the world’s most legendary teams, namely Inter Milan and AC Milan. In 1965, Inter Milan won the first European Cup final to be held at the stadium against Benfica.

To mark the event and thanks to recent renovations, the Meazza Stadium will most definitely be suitably ‘dressed’ for the occasion.

Unmissable: between the 26 and 29 May, the official UEFA Champions Festival will be held between Piazza Duomo and Castello Sforzesco. The festival envisions numerous day and nighttime football-themed activities for families and fans alike, including competitions, meetings with past tournament winners, matches starring football legends, a UEFA Museum of Champions featuring memorabilia and videos from past tournaments, coaching courses for kids and concerts.

For last minute updates visit: www.wheremilan.com/events/tags/uefa.
