As it was rumored, UEFA has changed the venue of the Futsal Champions League Final Eight Tournament and confirmed this in its latest publication.
"The UEFA Executive Committee took note of the epidemiological situation in Belarus and the current travel restrictions into the country, which could prevent some teams and officials from participating in Minsk."
"As the Croatian Football Federation declared its availability to take over the staging of the finals, the UEFA Executive Committee decided to appoint Zagreb as the host of the tournament, originally scheduled in Minsk from 28 April to 3 May."
UEFA confirmed that the dates of the tournament have not changed.

This is not the first time that a high-profile tournament will take place in Arena Zagreb, as the venue was one of the hosts of the 2012 EURO Futsal setting the then-record for the highest attendance in a futsal match.
