OH Leuven Women has drawn a formidable group for the League Phase of the UEFA Women’s Champions League, featuring high-profile fixtures against European heavyweights Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain, AS Roma, and Juventus, according to official tournament details released following Friday’s draw at UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland.
The Belgian club’s path to the tournament’s group stage required navigating a rigorous qualifying schedule over the summer. According to match records, OH Leuven advanced past Serbian side Bačka Topola with a 4-0 victory before edging Turkish club Fenerbahçe on penalties following a 1-1 draw. In the final qualifying round, the squad secured their spot by defeating Polish champions Czarni Sosnowiec 4-1 away and 2-1 at home.
The League Phase Schedule and Opponents
Under the 18-team League Phase format introduced last season, OH Leuven learned its complete slate of home and away fixtures during Friday’s proceedings. The team will host Chelsea, AS Roma, and Danish club Koge at home, while traveling away to face Paris Saint-Germain, Juventus, and Swiss side Servette, as reported by Belga.
The official match calendar will be published on the UEFA website, with the opening fixtures scheduled for Tuesday, September 22, or Wednesday, September 23.
Building on European Experience
During last season’s inaugural 18-team Champions League format, OH Leuven successfully advanced through the initial phase by finishing among the top twelve teams, which earned them a spot in the intermediate knockout round. Arsenal ultimately eliminated the Belgian side from reaching the quarterfinals, while FC Barcelona claimed the ultimate title by defeating Olympique Lyon in the final.
With the full schedule set for release, the club turns its focus toward preparations for the opening matchday in late September. Fans can follow official schedule updates directly through UEFA’s official portals as the countdown to matchday one begins.
