FC Twente Vrouwen has to compete in the competition phase of the Champions League against defending champion Arsenal. Just like last year, the Tukkers also meet Real Madrid and Chelsea.
Lieke Martens, who ended her football career at the beginning of this month, pressed the draw in the Swiss Nyon on the button for FC Twente. In addition to Arsenal, Real Madrid and Chelsea, Benfica, Atlético Madrid and Oh Leuven appeared on the screen as the opponent of the Tukkers.
FC Twente trainer Corina Dekker announced after the qualification for the competition phase that she would rather avoid Arsenal and FC Barcelona despite beautiful posters. That wish has been partly released.
The club from Enschede escapes the Catalans, but does meet the title defender with Arsenal. The team of coach Renée Slegers won last season in the Barça final. FC Twente is visiting the title defender.
FC Twente also receives a club from London: Chelsea. Last season, the ten-time national champion fell twice against the team of old Twente player Wieke Kaptein: 1-3 and 6-1. The encounters with Real Madrid also offer little hope. Twente lost 7-0 in Madrid and kept Real a week later on 2-3.
Twente won twice last season against Celtic, but that was not enough to survive the group stage. The new set -up of the Champions League may offer more opportunities for Twente.
Last year the European club tournament still consisted of a group phase and a knockout phase. This year the setup has been adjusted, following the example of the men. The eighteen participating teams play six games, after which a ranking is drawn up. The twelve best clubs go to the next round.
FC Twente qualified for the main phase of the Champions League on Thursday thanks to a 4-1 victory on GKS Katowice. The Tukkers also won 0-4 from the Polish club last week. The team of coach Corina Dekker previously settled in the qualifications with Red Ster (6-0) and Breidablik (2-0).
The first Champions League matches will be played on 7 and 8 October.
