It won’t be easy. For its second consecutive participation in the qualifying round of the Women’s Champions League, Paris FC will be condemned to the feat to go further in the competition. Last year, Sandrine Soubeyrand’s team, 3rd in D1 Arkema, was eliminated by AS Roma on penalties in their play-off final.
Carried out this Friday, the draw placed Paris FC in group 3, the matches of which will take place in Linköping (Sweden) from September 6 to 9. The Parisiennes will face the Ukrainians of FC Kryvbas on September 6 in the first round of these play-offs. If successful, it is the winner of the match between the English Arsenal, semi-finalists of the last Champions League, and the Swedes of Linköping, who will play at home, that the Parisians will have to beat.

The winner of this mini-tournament will advance to the second qualifying round in October (two-way confrontation). The PSG players, second in D1, will go directly to this second round (draw on September 15). If qualified, they will play the group stage, between November and January, for which Olympique Lyonnais, reigning French champions, is directly qualified.
At the transfer window level, Paris FC achieved a big blow with the signing for two years of Kessya Bussy, 22, author of 8 goals with Reims this season.
