What happened: Uefa awarded the 2029 final to Principality Stadium, which will carry the name National Stadium of Wales for the event. The 2028 women's final goes to Parc Olympique Lyonnais, with Munich and Barcelona staging the next two men's finals.

Why it matters: Cardiff last staged the women's final in 2017 at Cardiff City Stadium, where Lyon beat Paris Saint-Germain on penalties. Principality previously hosted the 2017 men's final between Real Madrid and Juventus and the 2026 Community Shield. Football Association of Wales chief executive Noel Mooney called the award a catalyst for women's and girls' football in Wales.

By the numbers: Principality Stadium capacity: 73,931. 2017 women's final in Cardiff finished 0-0 after extra time. 2026 Community Shield at Principality: Arsenal 3-0 Manchester City.

What to watch: Bucharest and Belgrade host the next two Europa League finals, with Turin and Budapest staging the Conference League showpieces.
