History
In March 2025, FIFA announced the introduction of the Women's Champions Cup as part of its commitment to enhance women's club football globally. The inaugural tournament took place in 2026 (with first and second round matches held in late 2025), marking a significant milestone in providing a global platform for women's club teams to compete at the highest level.[2]
The introduction of the Women's Champions Cup and the Women's Club World Cup required club championships for each of the six FIFA confederations. While other confederations had existing competitions, the AFC Women's Champions League and CONCACAF W Champions Cup were created to serve as qualification routes.[3][4]
Format
For the inaugural event, the competition involved six teams, each representing one of FIFA's continental confederations. The semi-finals and final were played at a centralised location. The matches were structured as follows:
- Round 1: The champions of the AFC Women's Champions League hosted the champions of the OFC Women's Champions League.
- Round 2: The champions of the CAF Women's Champions League hosted the winners from Round 1.
- Semi-finals: The Round 2 winners advanced to play the champions of the UEFA Women's Champions League, while the champions of the CONCACAF W Champions Cup faced the champions of the Copa Libertadores Femenina.
- Final and third-place match: The semi-final winners contested the final, and the losers played in the third-place match.
The 2027 event will have the same format but with different semi-final matchups: the Round 2 winners play the champions of the CONCACAF W Champions Cup, while the champions of the UEFA Women's Champions League play the champions of the Copa Libertadores Femenina.[5][6] Seeding was based on results from 2026.
The seeding for the 2029 edition will be subject to further consultation.[7]

Trophy
The trophy for the FIFA Women's Champions Cup was revealed on 19 January 2026 in London, prior to the inaugural competition's semi-finals. The trophy has a design similar to the men's Club World Cup trophy used since 2025 (which in itself is modeled after the Voyager Golden Records).[8] The front of the trophy features map engravings of all six continental confederations arranged in a hexagonal shape, with a world map in the center reflecting "both the global reach of women’s club football and the international significance of the tournament".[9]
The winners of the competition are also entitled to receive the FIFA Champions Badge, which features an image of the trophy. The reigning champions are entitled to display it on their first-team kit only, up until and including, the final of the next championship.[10]
