The semi-finals and final of the Youth League for 2025/26, which could feature Sporting and Benfica, will be held in Lausanne, Switzerland, on April 17 and 20, UEFA announced this Monday in a statement on its website.

The last three matches of the current edition of the competition, which partially replicates the Champions League format, will be played at the La Tuilière stadium, with a capacity of 11,000 spectators, due to renovation works at the Colovray stadium in Nyon, also in Switzerland, which hosted 10 of the previous 11 finals.

The semi-final matches are scheduled for April 17, Friday, kicking off at 13:00 and 17:45 (Lisbon time), and the final will take place the following Monday, April 20, starting at 17:45. Sporting’s best performance – having eliminated Eintracht Frankfurt in the previous round – in the competition was reaching the semi-finals in 2022/2023.

Sporting and Benfica can qualify for the decisive phase of the 2025/26 Youth League season, as they will face Real Madrid and Inter Milan, respectively, in the quarter-finals, with matches scheduled for March 18, at the Italian and Spanish teams’ stadiums.

João Gião’s team will face Los Merengues. The match will kick off at 13:00 (Portugal mainland time) and counts for the quarter-finals of the UEFA Youth League 2025/2026.
