Two UEFA Champions League fixtures involving German clubs hosting U.K. opponents have already been moved to Budapest, Hungary because current Bundesrepublik COVID regulations prohibit travellers from the isle.


In the case of UEFA Europa League participants TSG 1899 Hoffenheim, a German team has been denied entry to a foreign country. Norway currently bars visitors from certain countries.

Both the German and Norwegian club announced that, working in conjunction with UEFA and Spanish club Villareal, they had arrived at a solution on Monday evening.

Both clubs will travel to Spain to complete the first-leg of the round-of-32 matchup at the Estadio de la Ceramica in Villareal. No current German travel restrictions will prevent the Norwegians from coming to Sinsheim for the second leg on February 25th.
