"The Football Association of Ireland (FAI) has submitted a preliminary bid to host the Women's Champions League final at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin in 2029. Dublin was put forward as a potential host city in an expression of interest by the FAI to Uefa in October. The FAI said it is in a "strong position" to host the final due to the increased popularity of women's football in the Republic of Ireland."
"The Republic of Ireland qualified for the 2023 Women's World Cup in Australia and captain Katie McCabe has been integral as Arsenal became European and world champions in the past 12 months. Along with the Aviva Stadium, the Principality Stadium in Cardiff was one of three other potential bids to host the 2029 decider. Lyon's Parc Olympique Lyonnais and St. Jakob-Park in Basel, Switzerland declared interest to host either the 2028 or 2029 finals."
The Football Association of Ireland has submitted a preliminary bid to host the 2029 Women's Champions League final at Aviva Stadium in Dublin. Dublin was put forward to Uefa in an expression of interest made in October. The FAI says increased popularity of women's football places the Republic of Ireland in a strong position to host. The association consulted Aviva Stadium, Dublin City Council and the Irish government's department of culture, communications and sport to assess legacy, feasibility and costs. The Republic qualified for the 2023 Women's World Cup and captain Katie McCabe has been integral to Arsenal's recent European and world titles. Multiple European venues have declared interest and final bids are due in June with a host announced in September.
