TSG's UEL Round of 32 tie against Molde moved to Villarreal

TSG Hoffenheim will play the first leg of their UEFA Europa League Round of 32 tie against Norwegian club Molde FK on 18 February (21:00 CET) at the Estadio de la Cerámica, the home of Spanish side Villarreal. Molde FK submitted an official request for a venue change to UEFA on Monday.

The reason behind the change of match venue are the current restrictions on travel into Norway that have been introduced due to the corona pandemic. Due to the travel restrictions, TSG Hoffenheim cannot enter Norway. The Round of 32 return leg will take place at the PreZero Arena in Sinsheim on 25 February (18:55 CET) as planned.
