UEFA Women’s Champions League draw

The 2024-25 UEFA Women's Champions League group stage draw has been made by UEFA managing director of women's football Nadine Kessler and dual competition winner Fatmire Alushi.

Holders Barcelona will take on two group stage newcomers in Manchester City (who reached the semi-finals in a previous format) and debutants Hammarby, plus experienced Austrian champions St. Pölten.

Among the rivals in a very tough Group A, meanwhile, are Lyon and Wolfsburg, who have met in four finals as well as several other rounds over the years, with Roma and trailblazing Galatasaray also involved.

Bayern fell in a very tough Group C last year and they are back in that pool, set for another challenging campaign when they face Arsenal, Juventus (who knocked out Paris Saint-Germain) and Vålerenga. In Group B, lastly, Chelsea take on Real Madrid for the third group stage running, joined by Twente and Celtic.

This is the last group stage under the current format before the change to an 18-team league phase next season, with the further addition of a second UEFA women's club competition.
