UEFA has reportedly asked the Catalan Department of Health to provide adequate health guarantees for the Barcelona-Napoli match at Camp Nou.


The match between Barcelona and Napoli could be moved away from Camp Nou due to the Covid-19 situation in Catalonia.

‘O Jogo claims both Porto and Guimaraes have made their stadiums available to host the two teams in Portugal, but the reports in Italy highlight that the Blaugrana push to play the game at Camp Nou.

RAC-1 claims UEFA has asked for guarantees from the Spanish Department of Health, given the difficult situation in Catalonia due to the coronavirus outbreak.

The return leg has been scheduled for Catalonia on August 8, but the report suggests the location could still change and a decision will be made by this weekend.
