When will the 2024 Women’s Champions League final take place?
Bilbao’s San Mamés Stadium will host the 2024 UEFA Women’s Champions League final on Saturday 25 May, with a schedule yet to be confirmed.
The Athletic Bilbao stadium, with a capacity of more than 50,000 spectators, was built on the site of the old San Mamés, replacing the 100-year-old stadium of the same name, in 2013. Athletic Club’s women’s team played several matches in the new fiefdom, attracting 48,121 fans for the 2019 Cup match against Atlético Madrid, a record for Spain at the time.
San Mames previously hosted two quarter-final matches and one semi-final when it concluded the 2019/20 Women’s Champions League with an eight-team knockout tournament played behind closed doors. The remaining matches, including the final, were played in San Sebastian, the second time the competition had ended in Spain since the first deciding match of the renamed Women’s Champions League took place at the Alfonso Perez Coliseum in Getafe in 2010.
