Juventus host 2014 Europa League Final. Champions League Final in Benfica’s Estádio da Luz in Lisbon

It has now been officially confirmed that the 2014 Europa League Final will be played at the Juventus Stadium in Turin.

The venue was only opened in September and is the first club-owned arena in Serie A.

This evening UEFA announced that the 2014 Europa League Final will be played in Turin.

The 2014 Champions League Final is to be hosted by Benfica’s Estádio da Luz in Lisbon, which was already used in Euro 2004.

We have the best stadium in Italy... it only makes sense

To bad its small for UCL final I am sure we would have won it ( not taking anything away from Benfica's stadium )

Italy or an Italian team needs to host a big footy event soon. Seems like UEFA is ignoring Serie A's well-being for whatever reason...

No offense to Portugal, but Italy's Serie A is much more important.

At least Porto's stadium is good in every way, unlike most Italian stadiums. San Siro is pretty much only stadium in whole Italy that is good enough for CL final, unless you want finals to be held in stadium with racing tracks...

You can give an event under the condition that renovations are made for the event... it's a good way actually.

True but one CL final alone won't be enough to fund whole renovation and Italian teams doesn't seem to have a lot of cast to throw around, not at least to make a proper renovation. Well, maybe Roma if new owners feels generous but no one else.

Actually only Juve Stadium is great for UCL final in Italy than its San Siro because its so big

It's a great step, I mean the stadium is brand new. Give it time and it will surely be expanded, anyways.

It's Italian clubs faults really. Hopefully more clubs will soon have their own stadiums which are purely for football then Italy can host a major final/tournament.

I hope Juve extend their capacity in a couple of seasons time. The stadium is magnificent but too small for CL finals.

Italy hosted the 2009 CL final... don't see how Italy are being mistreated at all.
