On Friday, condemning Russia's military action on Ukraine, the Union of European Football Association (UEFA) moved the Champions League Final away from St Petersburg.
The 2022 Champions League Final will now be held at the Stade de France in Paris as Gazprom Arena in St Petersburg was stripped off the right to stage the event.
The game will be played at the same day, May 28 at the original time of 20:00 GMT.
Stade de France previously hosted a UCL Final in the year of 2006 which saw FC Barcelona beat Arsenal 2-1. The stadium also hosted the 1998 FIFA World Cup and UEFA Euro 2016 Final.
