By AUGUSTUS ISICHEI

LONDON will host the decisive stages of the inaugural FIFA Women’s Champions Cup, with Arsenal Stadium and Brentford Stadium selected as the venues for the semi-finals and final in early 2026.

From 28 January to 1st February, the two stadiums will stage the semi-finals, third-place playoff and final, where the first women’s intercontinental club champion will be crowned. The competition brings together continental champions from across the world in a landmark event for women’s club football.

Arsenal, Gotham FC of the United States and Brazil’s Corinthians have already qualified, while the final slot will be determined on December 14 when China’s Wuhan Jiangda face Morocco’s AS FAR in a decisive playoff.

FIFA Chief Football Officer Jill Ellis said London’s selection reflects its growing influence in the women’s game, driven by passionate supporters, strong investment and the success of England’s Lionesses.

Brentford Stadium will host the semi-finals on 28 January, while Arsenal Stadium will stage the third-place match and final on 1st February.
