Cardiff is set to take centre stage in European football after being chosen to host the 2029 UEFA Women’s Champions League Final at the National Stadium of Wales.
This major sporting event will see the Welsh capital welcome thousands of fans from across Europe for one of the biggest dates in women’s club football.
The Football Association of Wales (FAW) secured the final with a technical bid, backed by Welsh Government, Cardiff Council, and the National Stadium of Wales.
The selection highlights Wales’ growing reputation for staging world-class sporting events, following on from hosting the UEFA U19 EURO in 2026 and the men’s UEFA EURO in 2028.
A Lasting Legacy for Women’s Football
The FAW says hosting the final will do more than just bring world-class football to Cardiff—it will help drive a major nationwide legacy.
The event is set to boost participation, improve facilities, and create more opportunities for women and girls to get involved in the game, from playing and coaching to refereeing and volunteering.
Welsh football has been on a high, with participation in the women’s game more than doubling to over 20,000 registered players.
Attendances have hit record highs at both domestic and international matches, and teams like the Genero Adran Leagues and Cymru’s recent qualification for UEFA Women’s EURO 2025 underline the sport’s rapid growth.
A Platform for Pride and Inspiration
The 2029 final is expected to inspire a new generation, showing women and girls across Wales that football is for everyone. For Wales, the event is also a chance to showcase its football culture, language, and identity to a global audience.
The FAW promises the impact of hosting will go far beyond just one night in Cardiff, with plans for a transformational legacy programme to support communities across the country.
An Exciting Time for Welsh Sport
As anticipation builds for the 2029 UEFA Women’s Champions League Final, Cardiff is getting ready to roll out the red carpet for Europe’s top teams and supporters. With a proud football history and a commitment to growing the women’s game, Wales is set for another unforgettable sporting occasion.
