On Monday 27 April at 10.00CET the city of Berlin, host of the 2015 UEFA Champions League and UEFA Women's Champions League finals, will receive the trophies for both competitions.
They will be handed over to Berlin's mayor Michael Müller in the city hall by UEFA. Wolfgang Niersbach, president of the German Football Association (DFB), the two final ambassadors Steffi Jones and Karl-Heinz Riedle as well as representatives from the 2014 winners of either competition, VfL Wolfsburg and Real Madrid CF, will also be present for the ceremonial.
Starting on Wednesday 29 April, the UEFA Champions League trophy will embark on a tour of the German capital – the City Trophy Tour – with celebrities presenting it to Berlin's football fans. There are plans to transport the famous silverware in a 'Trabi' (or Trabant, the legendary East German car), on a boat and via city trains and subways. Both trophies will also go on display in Berlin's Rotes Rathaus from 09.00 to 18.00CET between 2 and 8 May.
The women's final will be held on 14 May in the Friedrich-Ludwig-Jahn Sportpark, followed by the men's event in the Olympiastadion on 6 June.
