UEFA announces changes to Women's Champions League format

UEFA announced on Wednesday that the Women's Champions League will undergo significant changes to be introduced in 2021/22.

The competition will now feature a 16-team group stage as well as centralised marketing and TV coverage, producing a 20 per cent increase in the total number of matches played throughout the tournament.

Additionally, the top-six ranked countries, Czech Republic, England, France, Germany, Spain and Sweden, will all get three qualifying spots rather than two while those ranked seven to 16 will each enter two.
