UEFA Champions Festival in the Olympic Park

Champions Festival: Four days of colourful programme in the Olympic Park

Just under a year after the UEFA EURO 2024, the Olympic Park will once again be transformed into a hotspot for the whole family. From the public holiday on Thursday 29 May to Sunday 1 June, a programme of sport, action and culture awaits you here every day.

Among other things, you can kick a ball yourself or watch it on a football court, take photos with the Champions League trophy or enjoy concerts on the big stage on the Olympic Lake on Thursday and Friday evenings.

There will also be over 30 artistic acts such as Gerry and Gary, Roxxdoxx and well-known DJs, events organised by sponsors and partners as well as events organised by the city's ‘We are all champions’ campaign.

And of course there will also be a public screening of the grand final on 31 May. Kick-off is at 9 p.m.

Admission is free, but access to the Champions Festival will be closed in the event of overcrowding.

Star DJ Sebastian Ingrosso is the live act on 30 May

On Friday evening, the Champions Festival will become a party centre when Sebastian Ingrosso plays from 9 p.m. The Grammy-nominated DJ from Swedish House Mafia will heat up the Olympic Park with a 90-minute set. With Swedish House Mafia, Sebastian Ingrosso has created club hits such as "Don't You Worry Child” and "Save The World”, while as a solo artist he has conquered dance floors around the world with "Reload” and "Leave The World Behind”, among others.

MucAware at the Champions Festival

MucAware will be on site with awareness teams as part of the Champions Festival. MucAware is a project of AKIM (All-Party Conflict Management in Munich) and its teams offer low-threshold support for fans who feel harassed, discriminated against, threatened or otherwise unsafe. This provides targeted support directly on site for people affected by discrimination and (sexualised) violence.

The awareness teams will be available at three awareness points at the Champions Festival in the Olympiapark from 29 to 31 May from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. All members of the awareness teams will be wearing purple waistcoats with the MucAware logo and can also be contacted by phone by dialling the relevant numbers.

The awareness points are equipped with various materials for psychological or physical first aid. If necessary, affected persons are referred to the appropriate counselling or contact points in Munich. The MucAware project is organised by the Social Department of the City of Munich and uses awareness work to promote diversity and combat discrimination.

The team captains are Kaka, Clarence Seedorf, Luis Figo and Lothar Matthäus.
