Uefa has shifted the venue of the May 29 champions league final between Chelsea and Manchester City from Istanbul, Turkey, to Portugal.
The footballing body gave a statement announcing the changes with a caution that the clubs were still talking about how to sponsor some of the attendees.
A statement by Uefa shared by Manchester City read: ‘‘UEFA has today announced that the Champions League Final on Saturday 29th May will be relocated from Istanbul to the Estádio do Dragão, Porto. This decision has been taken due to the current travel restrictions in place for UK residents travelling to Turkey.
‘‘Discussions between the Club, UEFA and other relevant stakeholders regarding ticketing and travel arrangements will take place immediately.
‘‘The Club will be offering qualifying supporters an official day trip travel package from Manchester to Porto.
‘‘Further information will be provided to supporters as soon as possible.’’
Chelsea will be taking on English Champions Man City at the all-English finals by end of this month after dislodging Real Madrid in the semifinal. Man City also sailed to the finals after beating PSG.
