## Venue

The Juventus Stadium was selected as the final host by the UEFA Executive Committee during their meeting in Amsterdam, Netherlands on 2 March 2020.
The match was the first UEFA Women's Cup/Champions League final to be held in Turin, and the second in Italy after the 2016 final, held in Reggio Emilia. The match was the second UEFA club competition final to be held at the stadium, having previously hosted the 2014 UEFA Europa League Final. It was also the seventh UEFA club competition final to be held in Turin, having hosted four other UEFA Cup/Europa League finals (holding a leg in 1977, 1990, 1992 and 1993), as well as the 1984 European Super Cup.
As the host federation, FIGC later announced that the 32,257 spectators in attendance generated €290,000 in stadium revenue (ticketing + hospitality), representing the highest-revenue women's sporting event in Italy to that point.
