UEFA President Bans Holding Champions League Final in Saudi Arabia
Aleksander Ceferin stated that as long as he leads UEFA, he will not allow the Champions League final in Saudi Arabia.
Spanish La Liga and Italian Serie A have held the Super Cup matches in Saudi Arabia for the past few seasons.
"Not during my term. But I won't be here forever," Ceferin told Sky Sports.
Ceferin also mentioned that he does not see a threat to European football from Saudi Arabia.
"Everything is fine. Suppose they mostly buy players who can no longer play in Europe and overpay them. Are they developing their young footballers? European fans follow their clubs and national teams. They follow competitions. They don't follow individual players," added the UEFA president.
