Everything You Need to Know About the UCL Final Venue! On May 30th, the eyes of the world will be on Budapest as Paris Saint-Germain and Arsenal clash for the most prestigious trophy in European club football. The battleground is none other than the Puskás Aréna in Zugló, one of Central Europe's most modern and impressive sports venues.
We have gathered everything you need to know about the stadium, its history, and match-day information.

📈 Capacity and Ticket Distribution
The Puskás Aréna is a true football cauldron. For the final, this UEFA Elite (Category 4) certified stadium will hold nearly 67,000 fans. An electric, packed atmosphere is guaranteed, as UEFA allocated the overwhelming majority of tickets—39,000 in total—directly to the fans of the two finalists and neutral spectators (with both clubs receiving exactly 17,200 tickets for their respective ends).

🏛️ Where the Past Meets the Present: Fun Facts About the Arena
The Legend's Legacy: The stadium is named after Ferenc Puskás, one of the greatest football players to ever live, a legend of Real Madrid and the historic Hungarian "Mighty Magyars."
Rebirth of an Icon: Opened in 2019, the arena was built on the exact site of the old Népstadion (People's Stadium). In a brilliant nod to history, the architects integrated the iconic concrete pylons (the tower-like support structures) of the old stadium into the new, ultra-modern design—so pieces of the past still tower over fans today.

A Specialist for Finals: While this marks Budapest's first time hosting a Champions League Final, the Puskás Aréna is a proven host. It has successfully staged the UEFA Super Cup, matches during Euro 2021, and the 2023 UEFA Europa League Final.
