A new president and parliament will be elected in Turkey on Sunday. A close race ensues between incumbent Recep Tayyip Erdogan and challenger Kemal Kilicdaroglu. If neither candidate clears the 50% hurdle, there will be a second round on May 28. Less than two weeks later, the Champions League final takes place at Istanbul’s Ataturk Stadium.
Given the volatile political situation, UEFA is now considering moving the final to Portugal should any post-election unrest erupt in Turkey, according to the “Daily Mail”. Concerns about safety are not unfounded. No one knows how longtime ruler Erdogan and his supporters will react if he were actually voted out. According to polls, challenger Kilicdaroglu is about five percent ahead.
UEFA has now responded to the report and denies that talks are being held with other countries. “The final will take place on June 10 in Istanbul as scheduled,” it was announced. But it is clear that for such major sporting events, political or social developments must always be kept in mind. So that, if necessary, we can react quickly.
The Champions League final would be held in Istanbul in 2020 and 2021. Due to the corona pandemic, both matches were eventually moved to Portugal, to Lisbon and Porto. Now Lisbon could kiss the hand again – the Estádio da Luz, where Bayern Munich won the premier league in 2020 with a 1-0 win against PSG.
It is still unclear who will play in the final this year. Both Manchester City and Real Madrid (first leg: 1-1) and Inter and Milan (2-0) will determine the two finalists next week.
