Barcelona, the beaten finalist last year, will face
Wolfsburg on June 3 in front of more than 34,000 people at PSV Eindhoven’s
stadium.
UEFA said on Tuesday no previous final had fully sold out
since 2009 when its Women’s Cup was rebranded as the Women’s Champions League.
Barcelona was the 2021 champion and Wolfsburg won
back-to-back titles in 2013 and ’14.
“Each team has picked up an allocation of more than 4,500
for their own supporters — far more than ever before,” said Nadine Kessler,
UEFA managing director of women’s soccer.
Ticket prices ranged from 15 euros to 25 euros ($16 to $27).
The game should set a Dutch record for a women’s game which
stands at 30,640 in the same venue in 2019 when the national team hosted
Australia.
The final is staged while the Netherlands is bidding to host
the 2027 Women’s World Cup in a joint project with neighbors Belgium and
Germany. Brazil, South Africa and a joint United States-Mexico bid are the
other candidates.
FIFA member federations will pick the winner on May 17 next
year. -AP
