UEFA Managing Director of Women’s Football Nadine Kessler and special guest Carla Couto conducted the UEFA Women’s Champions League (UWCL) 2024/25 Quarter-finals And Semi-finals Draw on Friday.

More Details

The 2024/25 Champions League quarter- and semifinals are set, with UEFA drawing the remaining eight teams into the field.

The annual season-long competition pits Europe’s top leagues against each other, with 72 qualified clubs from the United Kingdom (UK) to Ukraine vying for the continent’s top-dog status amid a cutthroat atmosphere and growing sense of parity.

This year’s final draw spans both familiar fights and rarely tested toss-ups as teams gear up for play to resume next month.

English Women’s Super League (WSL) contenders Arsenal kick things off against Real Madrid on March 18th, before Germany’s Bayern Munich takes on French 2024 UWCL runners-up Olympique Lyonnais.

The following day, Bayern’s Frauen-Bundesliga foes Wolfsburg face Spain’s 2024 UWCL champions FC Barcelona while WSL frontrunners Manchester City hosts fellow UK titans Chelsea to polish off the quarterfinal round’s first leg.

The winningest team in UWCL history, Lyon has taken eight of the decade-old tournament’s 15 titles, while recent table-runners Barcelona has emerged with three of the last five.

Despite the recent two-team domination, the European crown has never been tougher to claim, with leagues across the continent increasingly stocking up on standout — and potentially game-changing — players from beyond their borders.
