The soccer women of the SKN St. Pölten have a feasible first hurdle on their way to the group stage of the Champions League. As the draw on Friday in Nyon revealed, coach Liese Brancao’s team will meet the winner of the duel between Greek champions PAOK Saloniki and their Luxembourg counterpart Racing Union Luxemburg in a mini-tournament in the first qualifying round on September 9th. The venue will be the NV Arena in St. Pölten.

If St. Pölten, who was seeded in the first round, manages to climb, there will be a two-way match in the last qualifying round of the championship path on 10./11. and 18./19. October a da capo. The draw will take place in Nyon on September 15. In 2022, the “wolves” had also managed to qualify for the group stage of the premier class for the first time in this way.

The task for the team of runner-up Sturm Graz is more difficult. The Styrians, who were unseeded in the pot, must first prevail against Twente Enschede in the mini-tournament of the “non-champion way” before the winner from Levante (ESP) is waiting against Stjarnan (ISL).
