because Wembley wants all the money
Perhaps coz we have already had the Champions League final here a few years ago, and should give someone else a chance, same reasoning as the Euros?
It makes total sense to have it at Wembley. Logistically with the Covid restrictions, all the support staff, media and sponsors need to get into the country, transported, looked after and catered for.
Cardiff airport wouldn't be able to handle it in such a short space of time.
Its not the fans i'm talking about though. You've got all the VIP's, press & media, sponsors and UEFA members flying in from all over Europe for the champions league final. Cardiff airport currently has 1 or 2 commercial flights a week only.
Then they all need transporting around Cardiff to hotels (are they open?), catered for, etc, etc.
It probably took months of planning when we hosted it last time, its just not geared up for it last minute especially with covid.
You can fly all the above into heathrow no problem and be able to support them.
Seems Uefa wanted the UK to "suspend travel / quarantine restrictions" so that fans could go to Turkey and back !
Uk gave them two fingers, now a move of the final to Portugal (?!) is favourite.
At least it's on the green list.
