One stadium, two teams.
While the Arsenal women were expecting to play a gala match against Bayern Munich in the Champions League at the Emirates Stadium on December 18, the leaders of the London club finally announced that the meeting had to be moved to Meadow Park, the usual venue for Beth Mead teammates.
Ticketing problems
The reason for this sudden relocation? A Carabao Cup match for Mikel Arteta’s gang against Crystal Palace scheduled for the same date. Priority, therefore, to men. Only 7,500 tickets had already been sold for Arsenal-Bayern, and it turns out that Meadow Park can only accommodate 4,500 spectators.
According to the British media The Times, Arsenal announced “in good faith » that supporters who have a ticket in their possession for the match against Bayern will benefit a free ticket to a future Women’s Super League match at the Emirates. In addition, they will receive full compensation and priority access to the Meadow Park ticket office for a future meeting.
Equality for all.
