venue
The place, city, or sports facility where a planned event, especially a sporting competition or a final, takes place.
München war der Austragungsort des Champions-League-Finales.
Munich was the venue for the Champions League final.
The word is made up of the verb 'austragen' (to hold/stage) and the noun 'Ort' (place). 'Einen Wettkampf austragen' means to hold or stage a competition. So the Austragungsort (venue) is literally the 'place where it is held.'

Austragungsort (venue) is very often connected with the genitive to say what it is the venue of. For example: der Austragungsort des Finales (the venue of the final), der Olympiade (of the Olympics), or der Konferenz (of the conference).
Paris ist der Austragungsort der nächsten Olympischen Spiele.
Paris is the venue for the next Olympic Games.
Common verbs in this context are 'als Austragungsort feststehen' (to be confirmed as the venue), 'sich als Austragungsort bewerben' (to apply to be the venue), or 'einen Austragungsort bestimmen' (to choose a venue).

scene / setting
'Schauplatz' and 'Austragungsort' both refer to a place where something takes place. 'Schauplatz' is more general and is often suitable for important, dramatic, or historical events. 'Austragungsort' is used for planned events, especially in sports, for example a tournament, a final, or a concert. The confusion arises because both point to the place of an event. When something is organized and planned, 'Austragungsort' sounds more precise. When the event itself is the focus, especially if it is something dramatic, 'Schauplatz' fits better.
