Barcelona Women vs Arsenal Rescheduled for 12 November After Strike

Barcelona’s Women’s Champions League league-phase meeting with Arsenal has been moved back by 24 hours, with the Spanish champions now due to host the English side at Camp Nou on 12 November at 18:45 after a general strike was scheduled in Spain.

Barcelona arrive as reigning European champions and leaders of the league-phase table after two rounds. They began with a 5-2 win over Paris FC before travelling to beat Roma 6-0. Arsenal stand fifth, two points behind Barcelona, having defeated HB Køge 1-0 and drawn 2-2 with Paris FC.

A one-day change in Barcelona

The fixture was rescheduled because of the planned nationwide industrial action. UEFA said it was grateful to both clubs, their domestic leagues and the principal broadcasters for their co-operation during consultations over the alteration.

Supporters who bought tickets for the original date will be able to use them for the rearranged match. Further tickets will also be made available through Barcelona and Arsenal.
