What is next?
The six winners from Saturday’s matches will move on to the Second Qualifying Round in the Champions Path. There, they will join 22 teams already drawn into groups for the mini-tournaments scheduled for August 27 and 30. The seven group winners will then advance to the Third Qualifying Round, alongside St. Pölten. Only four of those will ultimately qualify for the league phase. Group runners-up transfer to UEFA Women’s Europa Cup second qualifying round. Third-place finishers transfer to UEFA Women’s Europa Cup first qualifying round.
The League Path follows a slightly different format. Fifteen teams will compete in four mini-tournaments, with the winners progressing to the Third Qualifying Round. There, they will meet Real Madrid, Paris FC, BK Häcken, Atlético de Madrid, Eintracht Frankfurt, and Sporting CP. From that round, five teams will qualify for the league phase of the competition.
