"We are aware of the speculation surrounding the Finalissima, given the situation in the region. Discussions are ongoing with the local organisers who have made a huge effort to make the match a success. A final decision is anticipated towards the end of next week. At present, there are no alternative venues being considered."
"Lusail Stadium, which played host to a stunning 2022 World Cup final between Argentina and France, won on penalties by La Albiceleste after a 3-3 draw, had been selected as the venue for the game. However, Qatar has been one of several Gulf states targeted by neighbours Iran in response to the continued airstrikes."
The Finalissima, scheduled for March 26 at Lusail Stadium in Qatar, will see European Championship winners Spain face Copa America champions Argentina. UEFA is monitoring the escalating Middle East conflict, where Qatar has been targeted by Iran in response to U.S. and Israeli airstrikes. While speculation surrounds a potential venue change, UEFA stated that discussions with local organizers are ongoing and a final decision will be made by the end of next week. Currently, no alternative venues are being considered for the match.
