KIEV， Oct. 21 (Xinhua) -- Kiev's Olympic stadium is nearly prepared to host the 2018 Champions League final， UEFA President Aleksander Ceferin said in an interview with Football Federation of Ukraine (FFU) published on Friday.
"As always， there is some renovation work， but the stadium is almost ready，" Ceferin was quoted as saying by the FFU's press service.
Apart from the Champions League final， in May 2018， a string of other entertaining activities for football fans will be held in Kiev， Ceferin said， voicing his hope that the events will contribute to the development of soccer in Ukraine.
