KNVB hopes to host the Champions League final in 6 years. The meeting would then have to be held in the new Kuip, which has not yet been built in Rotterdam, he reported ADVERTISEMENT.
Whether a new Kuip will actually be built remains uncertain at this time.
Lots of seating a must
The new pump must have a large capacity because UEFA stipulates that the capacity of a stadium wishing to host the Champions League must be more than 63,000 spectators. According to KNVB Secretary General Gijs de Jong, holding the final is ‘a very ambitious plan that requires a very good bid book from UEFA’.
More plans
The target for the women’s Champions League final is Eindhoven in 2023. The KNVB has submitted a bid book for that. Hosting a Women’s World Cup is also an ambitious plan. “Currently there are 32 countries participating and that is a big thing for the Netherlands. “We can seek cooperation with other countries around us such as Belgium, Germany or England,” said De Jong.
Next summer, four European Championship matches will be played at Amsterdam’s Johan Cruijff Arena. The European Championship is played in various cities in Europe.
