The UEFA, the governing body of European football, has decided to shift the final of the Champion League out of St. Petersburg, Russia due to the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine. The final will now be played Stade de France in Saint-Denis, France. 

The decision was made in an Executive Committee meeting on Friday. UEFA, in a statement, thanked the French President Emmanuel Macron for agreeing to host the final. It also noted that the Russian and Ukrainian clubs "will be required to play their home matches at neutral venues until further notice."
