As announced by the Munich team, the quarter-finals on March 22 against Paris Saint-Germain will take place in the arena where the men usually play. It is the first time that the Bayern women play a game there.
“We are very happy about this milestone in the more than 50-year history of our FC Bayern women’s football department. Jens Scheuer’s team gets the stage it deserves for the Champions League quarter-finals against Paris Saint-Germain in our Allianz Arena,” said CEO Oliver Kahn. “I hope that the general conditions allow for a football festival where many Bayern fans will support our women in the Allianz Arena.”
The team normally plays on the campus north of Munich.
Five years ago, the Bayern women hosted PSG in a quarter-final first leg in the Champions League. In front of 7,300 spectators at the Grünwalder Stadion, the Munich team won 1-0.
The first leg of the round of the eight best teams in the Champions League will take place on 22/23. March instead, the second leg on 30./31. March. The German champions FC Bayern, as runners-up in the group, will initially play at home. In the event of progress, Bayern would meet Olympique Lyon or Juventus Turin.
