Lisbon to host Champions League mini-tournament, final in August
Lisbon will host this season's Champions League final on Aug. 23 after UEFA confirmed that the final stages of the 2019-20 competition will be held in the Portuguese capital from Aug. 12-23, rather than Istanbul as originally planned.
Following a meeting of UEFA's executive committee on Wednesday, it has also been announced that the Champions League will be completed as a mini-competition from the quarterfinal onward, with Benfica's Estadio da Luz and Sporting's Estadio Jose Alvalade being used to stage the games.
