Juventus Women advance to Champions League third qualifying round

Juventus Women have qualified for the third qualifying round of the UEFA Women's Champions League following a 3-1 extra-time victory over Hammarby. The match featured a standout performance by Japanese player Remina Chiba, who scored twice during extra time to secure the win.

Both Juventus and Inter Milan will participate in the third qualifying round, though through different paths. The draw for the pairings is scheduled for August 11 in Nyon. For Juventus, the potential opponents in the 'seeded' path include Eintracht Frankfurt, St. Pölten, Ajax, or Real Sociedad. High-profile clubs such as Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain, Wolfsburg, and Real Madrid also remain potential rivals in this stage.

The matches for this round are set to take place on August 26 and September 2. The winners of these two-legged ties will join nine teams that have already qualified directly for the league phase, including Barcelona, Lyon, and Arsenal.
