Wembley stadium was on Thursday chosen by UEFA to host the 2011 Champions League final with the same season’s UEFA Cup final going to Dublin’s new Lansdowne Road ground.
London and Dublin were named as venues for the two European showcase matches by UEFA’s Executive Committee meeting in Nyon.
European football’s governing body also named Munich’s Allianz Arena as the venue for the 2012 Champions League final with Bucharest’s National stadium hosting the 2012 UEFA Cup final.
For the Republic of Ireland this will be the first time the country has staged a major European final with the venue, the new Lansdowne Road, still under construction.
This year’s Champions League final is in Rome and the UEFA Cup final in Istanbul.
