FIFA Women’s Champions Cup set for China opener between Naegohyang and Auckland

The Asian champions will meet their Oceania counterparts at the Shangcheng Sports Centre Stadium, with kick-off scheduled for 3pm local time, as both clubs begin their pursuit of a place in the competition’s final stage in Miami in January 2027.

Victory in the second round would secure a place in the final phase of the competition, scheduled for late January at Nu Stadium in Miami, Florida.

The four-team final stage will also feature UEFA Women’s Champions League winners FC Barcelona, Concacaf champions Club América and the winners of the CONMEBOL Libertadores Femenina.
