Hibs and Glasgow learn Women's Champions League opponents

1 day ago 4

Scottish champions Hibernian will face Danish title winners Fortuna Hjorring in the second round of Women's Champions League qualifying, while Glasgow City take on Austria Vienna.

Hibs, who were the shock title winners after a dramatic final day, will face the winner of Apollon Ladies, champions of Cyprus, or Swiss title holders Young Boys should they overcome Fortuna.

City, who finished as runners-up, three points behind Hibs, will take on Austria Vienna for the right to take on Minsk for a place in the third qualifying round.

The format involves the sides grouped together playing a 'mini-tournament' at the same venue, which is yet to be determined.

Semi-finals and a final are played with the winners progressing through to the last qualifying round before the new 18-team league phase, similar to the men's competition.

The runners-up and third-place sides drop into qualifying for the new Europa Cup.

The semi-finals are to be played on 27 August, with finals and third-place play-offs to follow three days later.
