Barnsley offered the services of Oakwell for their qualifying round match next month, but the Galpharm Stadium, home of Huddersfield Town, and Preston's Deepdale were both also considered.
However, UEFA today confirmed that Oakwell matches the criteria to host European ties and granted the two clubs permission.
The tie, Hughes's first in charge since leaving Blackburn, is scheduled for July 16/17 or July 30/31 depending on the draw.
