Chelsea Women are aiming to surpass last year’s UWCL semi-final performance and reach the final in San Mames on May 25th, 2024. So, let’s get ready for this exciting adventure to Bilbao!
How can I follow the UWCL draw?
Stay tuned for real-time updates on Chelsea Women’s draw on our official social media platforms. You can catch the entire draw live on UEFA’s official website, streaming from midday (UK time).
When and where is the UWCL draw?
The draw for the 2023/24 Women’s Champions League group stage is set to take place on Friday, October 20th, at UEFA’s headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland. It’s an important event to determine the groups and kick off the competition.
Who can Chelsea Women play in the group stage of the UWCL?
Chelsea is the only English team left in the Women’s Champions League this season. That’s good news because the rule that prevents teams from the same country facing each other doesn’t apply to us.
Chelsea is one of the top-seeded teams this year. We earned this status by being champions of one of the top four European leagues. The other top seeds are Lyon, Bayern Munich, and the current champions, Barcelona. Since we’re all top seeds, we won’t have to play against these strong teams in this stage.
In the upcoming draw, we will be paired with one team from each of the other three pots. And the best part is that with no other English clubs left, there are no further restrictions on our draw. So, it’s an exciting time for Chelsea in the Women’s Champions League!
When will the UWCL matches be played?
This season’s group stage is all set to kick off with four groups, each featuring four exciting teams. That means every team will have six matches on their schedule – three at their home ground and three on the road.
Get ready to mark your calendars, as the action begins in just under a month, starting on Tuesday, November 14, 2023. The group stage promises plenty of thrills and concludes on Wednesday, January 31, 2024. On that day, the top two teams from each group will secure their spots in the quarter-finals.
Stay tuned for the eagerly awaited fixture list, which will be officially revealed at 10 am (UK time) on Saturday, October 21. It’s going to be an incredible season of football.
