The first stage of the 2026 competition unfolded across two knockout rounds.

Wuhan Jiangda’s journey was then brought to an end in dramatic fashion in Round 2 as they were overcome by CAF champions ASFAR. The Moroccan side advanced to the decisive phase in London. The two semi-final matches will be staged at Brentford’s Gtech Community Stadium on January 28 (Wednesday). Supporters can look forward to two high-quality encounters: Concacaf champions Gotham FC (United States) will face CONMEBOL champions Corinthians (Brazil) at 12:30 pm GMT (1:30 pm CET/8:30 pm PHT), followed by UEFA Women’s Champions League holders Arsenal (England) taking on ASFAR (Morocco), the CAF Women’s Champions League 2025 champions, at 6:00 pm GMT (7:00 pm CET/January 29, 2:00 am PHT). On February 1st (Sunday), the action will move to the Emirates Stadium where the first women’s intercontinental club champions will be crowned.
