Istanbul to host 2020 Champions League Final

Istanbul's Atatürk Olympic Stadium has been chosen to host the 2020 UEFA Champions League final.

Atatürk Stadium won the right to host the event in competition against Estádio da Luz in Portuguese capital Lisbon.

It would be the second time Istanbul hosted a Champions League final.

In 2005, Turkey's largest city hosted arguably the best UEFA Champions League final in history – a 3-3 tie between AC Milan and Liverpool, which was won by the English side in penalty shootout. The 2005 final is known among the football fans as 'Miracle of Istanbul' as Liverpool managed to overturn Italian heavyweights' first-half 3-0 advantage.

Beşiktaş home stadium Vodafone Park in Istanbul will host the UEFA Super Cup final match in 2019.
