USA could host Champions League games in 2026, says UEFA chief Aleksander Ceferin - as he gushes over Americans paying big money 'for the best and nothing for less' in sport
...
Champions League games could be held in the United States as soon as 2026, according to UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin - even if it causes outrage for fans in Europe.
...
Ceferin said he is drawn to staging games in the United States due to the financial rewards on offer.
'Football is extremely popular in United States these days,' he added. 'Americans are willing to pay this amount (gestures high with hand) for the best and nothing for the less. So they will follow European football as basketball lovers in Europe follow NBA.
...
'Fans will still think in a way, these b****ds in Switzerland, it's all about money, and I repeat thousand times, we redistribute 97% of the money. Of course our revenues are huge. I would love them to be much, much bigger than now.
'What shocked me actually is that our Euro (2020) finals, Europe national team finals, was watched by more people in United States than NBA Finals. What shocked me is that 30 matches of the Euros, every match viewership was a Super Bowl viewership. So I think we are doing well.'
Ceferin made no suggestion as to where in the US any Champions League game could be held but previously, there have been suggestions that New York could host a game.
