Women’s football is set for another historic leap as FIFA unveils the first-ever Women’s Club World Cup, officially named the Women’s Champions Cup. The landmark tournament will make its debut in China from 28 January to 1 February 2026, bringing together the world’s top four women’s clubs for an electrifying showdown.

The semi-final draw promises headline clashes: reigning UEFA Women’s Champions League holders Arsenal WFC will meet the winners of Round 2, while Gotham FC—current Concacaf champions—will battle the 2025 CONMEBOL Libertadores Femenina winners. Victors will advance to the grand final, with defeated sides contesting a third-place playoff.

Beyond crowning the first-ever global women’s club champion, FIFA revealed plans to stage the competition annually in non-Club World Cup years, ensuring elite clubs from every confederation gain consistent exposure on the world stage.

This bold initiative underscores FIFA’s long-term commitment to women’s football, promising to elevate its visibility, competitiveness, and global reach while inspiring a new generation of players and fans alike.
