The host association submits the venue for each match to the UEFA administration at least 120 days before the match in question.
The UEFA administration is responsible for approving stadiums. Only when the administration has compiled the necessary information, and conducted potential stadium visits, will the final approval be given for use of the stadium in question.
When announcing a venue, the host association must take into account the length of the journey to be undertaken by the visiting team. In principle, the venue for a match must be no more than a 90-minute bus drive from the nearest international airport with daily flights from/to other European cities.
Any objection by a visiting association regarding a selected venue must be communicated to the UEFA administration, with the host association in copy, within three working days of the venue being announced by the host association. The UEFA administration will then take a final decision, either confirming the venue or requesting that the host association propose another one in accordance with these regulations.
