The Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) Champions League is heralded as "soccer's premier club competition" on the UEFA website. Each season the final is hosted by a different country and stadium, with the 2011 final being held at Wembley Stadium in London, England, on Saturday, May 28.

  1. History

    • The competition consists of the best teams from all the domestic European Leagues. The UEFA website explains how the competition was first set up in 1955 as the "European Cup," which was re-formatted into the modern day "Champions League" in the 1992-93 season. To date, Real Madrid and Milan are the most successful teams to have played in the Champions League.

    • The official Wembley Stadium website explains how it has been the home to English soccer since 1923. Wembley Stadium has hosted the final a record six times, as explained on UEFA.com. However, this will be the first time the stadium has held the final since it was rebuilt and re-opened in spring 2007 with a new design and increased capacity of up to 90,000 fans.
