Arsenal Women have just confirmed that their Champions League home game against Barcelona will be held at Emirates Stadium.

Taking place in December, the fixture is set to be one of the biggest in the women's football calendar, bringing together the defending champions of Europe and current WSL leaders for their fifth group game for the Gunners in their Champions League campaign.

A message from the boss…

Our @UWCL game with Barcelona will be hosted at Emirates Stadium! ✊

We need your support, Gooners ❤️

Despite recently beating Arsenal 4-1 at home in the opening match of the group stage, The Gunners have been utterly faultless bar that result this season – winning all five of their WSL fixtures and beating Hoffenheim 4-0 in their only other WUCL fixture.

This will be the first time Arsenal Women have played The Emirates since their WSL opener against Chelsea in N5, a game they won 3-2 in front of 9,000 fans, with The North London derby also set to take place there in March.

The game is set to take place on Thursday, December 9 with kick-off at 8pm - you can cop tickets for the game here.
