UEFA doesn't plan to move the final of the Champions League 2023 from Istanbul to Portugal due to the current political situation in Turkey, Reuters reported on Friday.
"UEFA would like to clarify the position on the 2023 Champions League final," the European football body said in a statement.
It added: "The 2023 UEFA Champions League final will take place in Istanbul as scheduled, on 10 June 2023.
"UEFA has no discussions to the contrary with any political institutions, governments or national football associations."
Earlier on Friday, various media outlets speculated that the final of the UEFA Champions League could be moved from Istanbul to Lisbon due to the ongoing political development in Turkey.
The second leg of the UEFA Champions League will take place. Two contests were scheduled for the semi-final: Manchester City vs. Real Madrid, and AC Milan and Inter Milan.
