Wembley Stadium will play host to the 2023 Champions League final, Uefa has announced.

The Uefa showpiece was last held at Wembley in 2013, when German fans descended on the capital to see Bayern Munich beat Borussia Dortmund 2-1.

St Petersburg will host the 2021 final, and Munich was awarded the 2022 final.

Uefa also announced that Seville will stage the 2021 Europa League final, and that VAR will be used from the beginning of the knockout stages in this season’s Europa League competition.

The executive committee, meanwhile, will recommend to its 55 national associations and all European clubs not to play matches in countries where women have restricted access to stadiums.

Uefa said its third club competition, starting in 2021 with a view to giving “more clubs in more countries a chance to participate in European football”, will be called the Europa Conference League.
