TOURNAMENT INFO
EDITION:
23rd since the UEFA Women's Cup was founded in 2001. The 14th edition since the rebranding to the UEFA Women's Champions League in 2009. And it is the third edition to feature a 16-team, home-and-away group stage.
FORMAT:
-
The top six nations are handed three spots (France, Germany, Spain, England, Sweden, Czech Republic).
-
The associations ranked 7–16 will enter with two clubs (Italy, Denmark, Netherlands, Iceland, Kazakhstan, Norway, Scotland, Belarus, Ukraine, Austria).
-
The remaining associations will enter with one team each.
QUALIFICATION:
Four teams qualify directly to the group stage:
-
The defending UWCL champions
-
The league champions from the nations ranked 1 by UEFA coefficient
-
The league champions from the nations ranked 2 by UEFA coefficient
-
The league champions from the nations ranked 3 by UEFA coefficient
For all remaining teams who don't automatically qualify for the group stage, two paths will occur:
-
A champions path (from where 7 teams qualify)
-
A non-champions 'league' path (from where 5 teams qualify)
The two paths will take place in four-team, predetermined-venue miniature tournaments (one-off semifinals, third place, and final matches) and a second round of paired home-and-away ties.
GROUP STAGE
A double-round-robin group stage with four groups of four - eight teams qualify for the home-and-away quarterfinals.
