UEFA stadium categories
Categories of requirements for football stadiums set by UEFA / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
UEFA stadium categories are categories for football stadiums laid out in the UEFA Stadium Infrastructure Regulations.[1] Using these regulations, stadiums are rated as category one, two, three, or elite (in order going up). These categories replaced the old method of ranking stadiums as four or five star in 2006. A stadium must be categorised as elite to host the final of the UEFA Champions League[2] or the UEFA Europa League.[3] These are UEFA's two top club competitions.
