Wembley favourite for 2011 Uefa showpiece
WEMBLEY Stadium appears poised to be named by Uefa next week as the venue for the 2011 Champions League final.
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 has already delayed a decision on the 2011 venue once, to allow the UK Government time to push through an exemption on tax rules for the players appearing in the final.
The final decision will be taken at Uefa's executive committee meeting in Nyon, Switzerland, on Thursday and Friday next week.
