"The letter sets out which finals are available to bid for, and what the minimum criteria is for a bid to be submitted. National football associations and stadium operators who are interested then work together to create a bid, attempting to present a convincing case in areas including stadium access, regional events, hospitality, and security. Interested parties then submit a bid dossier to Uefa, which is evaluated against those submitted by rival bidders."
"Both the Welsh FA and the Football Association of Ireland have applied to showcase the 2029 Women's Champions League final in Cardiff and Dublin respectively. Ultimately the Champions League, Europa League, and Conference League final hosts are selected by governing body Uefa. A few years before each final, the Uefa general secretary sends a letter to each of its 55 member associations inviting bids from prospective host nations and stadiums."
England's FA has applied to host the 2029 Champions League final at Wembley, while the Welsh FA and FAI have bid to host the 2029 Women's final in Cardiff and Dublin. Uefa selects final hosts after inviting bids from its 55 member associations years in advance. Bidders must meet minimum criteria and submit dossiers covering stadium access, regional events, hospitality, security and renovation commitments. Bidding windows can span multiple seasons and allow requests for specific years. Hosting finals brings economic benefits via tourism and rewards investment in new stadium infrastructure. Only Uefa category-four stadiums qualify to host major finals.
