Inter Women against Wolfsburg for the Champions League

The European journey of Inter Women passes through the double challenge against Wolfsburg. This is the outcome of the draw for the third qualifying round of the UEFA Women’s Champions League, held in Nyon at the House of European Football. David Sassarini’s Nerazzurre will face the German team with the goal of reaching the group stage of the top continental competition.

The first leg is scheduled for Wednesday, August 26 in Germany, while the return match will be played a week later, on Wednesday, September 2, in Milan. The Lombard team earned direct access to this round after finishing second in the last championship, which secured their entry among the seven teams exempted from the second preliminary round.

The draw involved a total of 18 teams: eleven coming from the second round and seven admitted directly to this stage. The nine winners will join as many clubs already qualified for the League Phase, while the eliminated teams will enter the second qualifying round of the UEFA Women’s Europa Cup, a competition in which Inter had reached the round of 16 in the previous edition.

The other pairings feature high-profile clashes such as Eintracht Frankfurt–Paris Saint-Germain, St. Polten–Juventus, Chelsea–Real Sociedad, and Ajax–Real Madrid. Completing the picture are Sparta Prague–Servette, PSV Eindhoven–HB Koge, Brann–Austria Vienna, and OH Leuven–Czarni Sosnowiec. All first-leg matches will be played on August 26, with the return legs scheduled for September 2.
