Swansea City beat Cardiff City on the opening weekend of the season

Swansea City say the Welsh Government will allow them to play in the Women's Champions League.

They had feared they could be omitted from the competition because of Wales' Covid-19 firebreak restrictions.

They will face Apollon LFC in Cyprus in the first round and say the game will be played on 4 November.

"It has been confirmed by the Welsh Government that the firebreak lockdown regulations will allow Swansea City to participate," the Swans said.

Most games in the men's Cymru Premier and all Welsh Premier Women's football leagues have been suspended from the start of the firebreak at 18:00 BST on Friday, 23 October until Monday, 9 November.
