Uefa is moving the Champions League final, set to be played on 28 May, away from St Petersburg’s Gazprom Arena.
The European football governing body’s executive committee has been called for an “extraordinary meeting”, and Sky Sports News reports that the decision has been made to play the European final elsewhere because of the Ukraine crisis.
"Following the evolution of the situation between Russia and Ukraine in the last 24 hours, the UEFA President has decided to call an extraordinary meeting of the Executive Committee for Friday 25 February at 10:00 CET, in order to evaluate the situation and take all necessary decisions," Uefa tweeted.
