Cardiff drawn with FC Twente in Women's Champions League

Cardiff City were treble winners in 2023-24, lifting the Welsh Cup and Adran Trophy as well as winning the Adran Premier league

Welsh treble winners Cardiff City have been drawn against FC Twente in the first round of the 2024-25 Uefa Women’s Champions League.

Unseeded Cardiff will face the Dutch seeds in a semi-final, with the winners to play either Valur of Iceland or North Macedonia's ZFK Ljuboten in Group Five's final.

Winners of 11 groups in the Champions Path then join higher-profile qualifiers from a League Path in round two, where ties are played over two legs.

Each first round mini-tournament will be hosted by one of the participants, with the two semi-finals to be played on Wednesday, 4 September, before the finals and third-place play-offs on Saturday, 7 September.

Last season Cardiff lost to Gintra of Lithuania in their semi-final before defeat to Irish side Shelbourne in a third-place play-off.

Iain Darbyshire’s side are returning to the Champions League after retaining the Adran Premier title in March, sealing top-spot with a 4-0 win over rivals Swansea City, who finished nine points behind in second place.

They also beat Swansea in April's Adran Trophy final, before completing the treble with a 2-0 win over Wrexham in the Women's Welsh Cup final at Rodney Parade in May.
