**Forcing Arsenal Women Out of the Emirates: A Missed Opportunity** The recent Carabao Cup quarter-final draw on October 30 triggered a chain of unfortunate events for Arsenal's women’s team. Both Arsenal and Tottenham's men’s teams were drawn to play at home, with Arsenal facing Crystal Palace and Tottenham up against Manchester United. The fixtures were set for December 18 and 19, respectively, but due to policing regulations, the two north London clubs cannot host matches on the same night. This scheduling conflict has significant implications for Arsenal's women, who were set to play Bayern Munich in the Champions League at the Emirates Stadium on December 18. The clash has forced the women’s team to seek an alternative venue for this crucial match, raising questions about the decision-making process and the prioritization of the men’s teams over the women’s. The situation highlights a missed opportunity to showcase women's football at a prestigious venue like the Emirates, especially during a high-stakes Champions League match. It’s a disappointing turn of events that underscores the ongoing challenges faced by women’s sports in gaining equal footing and visibility within the broader football landscape.
