FCBarcelona is awaiting final confirmation from UEFA to reschedule the Women's Champions League match against Arsenal, originally scheduled for Wednesday, November 11. The change of date is proposed to avoid coincidence with the general strike that is being held in Spain on the same day, caused by the repeal of the housing decrees. The Barça club has requested that the match be postponed to Tuesday, November 10 or Thursday, November 12, and UEFA has assured that the new date will be one of those two options.
If the match is held on the 12th, the official press conferences would take place on the 10th, so that the club would not be affected by the general strike on the 11th. If the date is on the 10th, the match between Liverpool and Arsenal in the Premier League would be moved from Sunday the 8th to Saturday the 7th, avoiding a direct clash with the UEFA competition. On the other hand, if Barça-Arsenal remains on Thursday the 11th, there would be no rest problem for the English team, since their next league match would be on Sunday the 15th against London City Lionesses.
Regarding Barça's programming, League F has not yet set the times of the matches that would be played the previous weekend (at the Johan Cruyff Stadium against Madrid CFF) and after (at the Riazor against Deportivo). Therefore, the next few days will be crucial for the club to confirm the new date and logistical details of Pere Romeu's second match at the Spotify Camp Nou of the current season.
The club has requested the rescheduling in the hope of preventing the strike from interrupting the broadcast of the match, which was scheduled for 6:45 p.m. on TV3 and Disney+. UEFA has guaranteed that the new date will be one of two proposals, but the final decision has not yet been officially communicated. Fans and the media will continue to pay attention to UEFA's response and confirmation of the exact date and time of the duel against Arsenal.
