venue
The place, city, or sports facility where a planned event, especially a sporting competition or a final, takes place.

For a planned event, Schauplatz and Austragungsort can refer to the same place. „Schauplatz“ highlights the event in a narrative way, while „Austragungsort“ refers to the planned or official function as the venue for a competition or final. So either describe the event or name its designated venue.
