Scotland is aiming to host the women’s Champions League final, Europa League final or Europa Conference League final in either 2026 or 2027. Hampden Park, which has staged six previous European finals, is the stadium at the centre of one of the declarations of interests Uefa has received from nine different countries for the showpiece events. Final bids will have to be received by February 2024 with the eventual decision being announced next May. The two venues bidding to host the men’s Champions League finals over the two years are Milan’s San Siro and Budapest’s Puskas Arena, which staged this year’s Europa League final. If successful, it would be the first Champions League or European Cup final held in Hungary while San Siro has hosted four, the last of them in 2016. Hampden Park’s capacity is now too small for Uefa’s requirements for a Champions League final, though a record crowd of 127,621 were at the 1960 match where Real Madrid beat Eintracht Frankfurt 7-3. The Glasgow stadium also hosted the 1976 European Cup final, won by Bayern Munich, and the 2002 Champions League final, where Real Madrid beat Bayer Leverkusen 2-1, as well as two Cup Winners’ Cup finals and one Uefa Cup final, but none since 2007. Hampden faces competition for the women’s Champions League final from Norway, with the Ullevaal Stadion in Oslo, and Germany, with Gelsenkirchen, Munich and Stuttgart lined up as potential venues. The other countries interested in hosting the Europa League final are Romania, at Bucharest’s National Arena, Germany and Turkey. There are five possible host cities in Germany – Dusseldorf, Frankfurt, Gelsenkirchen, Leipzig and Stuttgart – and three Istanbul grounds in the reckoning, those of Besiktas, Fenerbahce and Galatasaray, but in each case, it will have to be narrowed down to one when the bid is submitted. The Conference League final could be played in either Glasgow, Istanbul, Oslo, Leipzig, Israel – at the Teddy Stadium in Jerusalem – or Switzerland, at the Stade de Geneve. Uefa was criticised for using smaller venues for the first two Conference League finals, meaning fewer fans could attend, and each of the eight possible venues has a larger capacity, of at least 28,000.

'Oppenheimer's cinematic presentation is staggering as the reel stretches over 11 miles in length and weighs more than 600 pounds

It’s become one of life’s great predicaments: should you go Barbenheimer or Oppenbarbie? We’re referring, of course, to the burning debate over whether to watch Barbie or Oppenheimer first. The summer’s two biggest blockbusters will be released on the same day (21 July) and cinema buffs are gearing up for watching them back-to-back. But is it better to first treat yourself to the candy-coloured endorphin boost that Greta Gerwig’s comedy promises to be? Or save that as a kind of after-dinner treat for when you’ve finished Christopher Nolan’s three-hour masterpiece? Sign up for our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Here, indy100 has devised a quiz to help you figure out where your loyalties truly lie… 1. You’re going on a date and don’t know what to wear, you… a) Just kidding!

When you think about death… a) You realise you’re alone among your friends b) It’s because the lives of millions of people are in your hands c) You swiftly distract yourself by looking at cooking tutorials on TikTok 3.

Take a break from all the fluff and glitter and spend three hours considering the very nature of war. Then, once you’ve had your fill of theoretical physics and Cillian Murphy’s piercing blue eyes, you can head straight back to your happy place and breath a sigh of relief. Mostly Bs: The world is weighing heavy on your shoulders, it feels like you have the very future of humanity in your hands – go see Barbie. Watch Ryan Gosling’s glistening abs and Margot Robbie’s ear-to-ear smile and try to feel glum, we dare you. Then, while you’re still high on hot pink and power ballads, go see Oppenheimer for a blast back to reality. Mostly Cs: Hun, are you OK? You’re clearly having a tough week and it sounds like you could do with a night in. Put on your pjs, snuggle up on the sofa, and save the cinema for another day. Have your say in our news democracy.

We view the successful conclusions of these discussions, through player input and a transparent long-term plan, as key for the growth of women’s football in England,” the statement read.
