The women's teams of PSV and Ajax now know their opponents in the second qualifying round of the UEFA Women's Champions League. PSV will face Bosnian side SFK 2000 from Sarajevo, while Ajax take on Danish club Brøndby IF. The draw was held in Nyon on Thursday.
Draw in Nyon reveals opponents
UEFA conducted the draw for the second qualifying round of the Women's Champions League in Nyon. For PSV, it means a clash with SFK 2000 Sarajevo, the Bosnian women's club that came through the first qualifying round. Ajax will face Brøndby IF, one of the better-known names in European women's football from Denmark.
Mini-tournament format shapes the competition
The qualifying rounds of the Women's Champions League are played in a mini-tournament format. That means the participating clubs do not compete in a traditional home-and-away setup, but instead face their opponents over a short tournament held at a single venue. Those who advance move on to the next round on their way to the main competition.
PSV and Ajax as Dutch representatives
With PSV and Ajax both involved, two of the most prominent women's clubs in the Netherlands are embarking on their European campaigns. Both clubs represent Dutch women's football in a competition where the finest clubs on the continent battle for a place in the group stage of the UEFA Women's Champions League.
