'Due to UEFA regulations on stadium sponsors, during UEFA Champions League matches the stadium is not officially referred to as Emirates Stadium, as Emirates are not an official sponsor of the Champions League competition; other stadia, such as the Allianz Arena in Munich, have fallen foul of this rule before.[7] UEFA either refer to the stadium as Ashburton Grove, or confusingly, Arsenal Stadium,[8] which was the official name of the stadium at Highbury.'
I didnt know that.

Probably because FIFA is run by Jews and Emirates is run by those bad bad people in the East.

Probably similar rules which result in the sponsors having thier named covered up on the seats in the benches. I know the Audi signs are always taped up for european patched at Old trafford because they catch my eye every time

This is why I called the Emirates 'Arsenal Stadium' in the WC thread
