Arsenal Women have been granted special dispensation by UEFA to take on Bayern Munich at Boreham Wood's Meadow Park.

This follows the Gunners being forced to find an alternative venue for the Champions League clash after Arsenal men's Carabao Cup tie with Crystal Palace was scheduled on the same evening at Emirates Stadium.

Arsenal will now host Bayern at Meadow Park on Wednesday, December 18, with all supporters who purchased a ticket for the original Emirates fixture automatically refunded.

Tickets will then go on sale again at 2pm on Tuesday, November 26.

The club will also offer these supporters complimentary tickets to a  Women's Super League match at Emirates Stadium this season, or alternatively a or a £20 retail voucher that can be redeemed at The Armoury or on Arsenal Direct.

In a statement, Arsenal said: "We thank members of our supporter groups throughout this time who offered valuable feedback which was reflected in our dialogue with UEFA.

"We also thank UEFA for their collaboration to find a workable outcome."

Bayern Munich fans will be given a 24-hour right of first refusal for a ticket. The difference to the price of the originally purchased ticket for the Emirates will be refunded, and if there is no interest in a ticket at Meadow Park, the full amount will be refunded.

Think there will be some sighs of relief at Arsenal this afternoon and certainly a commitment to make sure that this predicament does not arise in future. UEFA don't often budge easily in these situations
