Wembley to stage 2011 Champions League final

Wembley Stadium is set to be named by UEFA next week as the venue for the 2011 Champions League final, reports the Daily Mail. The stadium is up against competition from Germany - Munich's Allianz Arena or Berlin's Olympiastadion - but senior UEFA sources have confirmed it will almost certainly go to Wembley.

UEFA have already delayed a decision on the 2011 venue once specifically to allow the British Government time to push through an exemption on tax rules for the players appearing in the final.

Dublin's Lansdowne Road stadium is the favourite to be named host venue for the 2011 Europa League final - the new name for the UEFA Cup.
