Germany’s capital will play host to the competition’s showpiece for the first time in its history, with the Europa League set to be contested in Warsaw.
UEFA has announced that the 2015 Champions League final will be held in Berlin’s Olympiastadion.
The stadium was built when the German capital hosted the 1936 Olympic Games but has never staged the final of Europe’s top competition.
However, the continent’s governing body has confirmed that the showpiece will return to Germany just three years after Chelsea claimed the title at Munich’s Allianz Arena.
“I already told Michel Platini at the 2012 final in Munich that we wish to host this worldwide event again soon,” German Football Federation president Wolfgang Niersbach said.
“The fact that it happened so quickly is credit to our ability to organize things and be a good host. I am looking forward to a big football party in Berlin.”
Meanwhile, the National Stadium in Warsaw, Poland will host the 2015 Europa League final.
The arena was built for last summer’s European Championship and hosted five matches, including the opening fixture of the tournament, one quarterfinal and one semifinal.
