Oceania champions Auckland United FC will travel to China for their sudden death knockout match at the inaugural FIFA Women’s Champions Cup in October.
The New Zealand side will travel to Wuhan, to face AFC champions Wuhan Jiangda with the exact date to be confirmed.
Victory would see Auckland United progress to a second-round tie in December against the winners of the CAF Women’s Champions League, with the African final scheduled for November 23.
The winners of that encounter will advance to the finals stage of the tournament, to be held from January 28 to February 1, 2026.
In the finals draw, either Auckland United, Wuhan Jiangda or the African champions will meet European title holders Arsenal in the semi-finals. The other semi-final will feature Concacaf champions Gotham FC from New York against the winners of South America’s CONMEBOL Libertadores Femenina.
