Arsenal will compete against OL Lyonnes in the UEFA Women’s Champions League semi-finals, with the first leg taking place on April 26 at 3:30 PM UK time at Emirates Stadium. The return leg is set for May 2 at 3 PM at Parc Olympique Lyonnais in Lyon, France. This matchup follows Arsenal's successful campaign where they eliminated Chelsea to secure their spot in the last four for the second consecutive year. The scheduling of the home leg was challenging due to a busy weekend in London, which includes the London Marathon and two FA Cup semi-finals at Wembley Stadium, along with a men's match against Newcastle on the same weekend. UEFA regulations further complicated the scheduling, as they require the visiting team to train on the pitch the day before the match, limiting available time slots.
