The final will be held at Wembley Stadium in London, England, located in Wembley of the borough of Brent. On 6 December 2012, UEFA announced the tournament would be held in multiple cities across Europe to mark the 60th anniversary of the tournament, with no host teams qualifying automatically.[2][3] Wembley was chosen as the semi-final and final venue of the tournament by the UEFA Executive Committee on 19 September 2014, having been selected by acclamation after the finals package bid of the Allianz Arena in Munich was withdrawn.[4] After winning the hosting rights, London's standard package bid for group stage matches and an earlier knockout match was withdrawn.[5] However, the UEFA Executive Committee removed Brussels as a host city on 7 December 2017 due to delays with the building of the Eurostadium. The four matches (three group stage, one round of 16) initially scheduled to be held in Brussels were reallocated to London, leaving Wembley with seven tournament matches.[6]

Wembley Stadium opened in 2007 on the site of the original stadium, which was demolished from 2002 to 2003.[7][8] The stadium is owned by The Football Association and serves as the national stadium of the England national team. The original stadium, formerly known as the Empire Stadium, opened in 1923 and hosted several matches at UEFA Euro 1996, including the final between Germany and the Czech Republic. Wembley has also hosted every final of the FA Cup since the White Horse Final of 1923 (excluding 2001–06, when the stadium was being rebuilt).
