Arsenal women’s game v Barcelona moved due to strikes

Arsenal Women's UEFA Women's Champions League away fixture against Barcelona has been postponed by one day due to a planned general strike in Spain. Originally scheduled for Wednesday, November 11, the match will now take place on Thursday, November 12, at Camp Nou. The kick-off time remains unchanged at 6:45 p.m. local time (5:45 p.m. UK time).

Barcelona requested the rescheduling over logistical concerns, including potential transport disruption and issues staging the match. The general strike, backed by trade unions such as CCOO and UGT, involves protests over housing, wages, and the cost of living. A proposal to move the game earlier to November 10 was rejected due to Arsenal's domestic schedule against Liverpool.
