2007 final between Arsenal and Umeå

The 2007 UEFA Women's Cup Final was played on 21 and 29 April 2007 between Arsenal of England and Umeå of Sweden.[1] It was the first final not to feature German teams since the 2003 final. Arsenal won 1–0 on aggregate.[2][3]

Quick Facts Event, Umeå ...

Arsenal were chasing an unprecedented quadruple of titles having already secured the England women's premier league, Women's FA Cup and Women's Premier League Cup.[4] They were the first English team to reach the UEFA Women's Cup Final and to date the only English winner of the competition.[5] Chelsea W.F.C reached the 2021 final but ultimately lost to Barcelona Feminine making them only the second English side to reach the final.

Arsenal W.F.C have gone on to reach four more semi-finals (2011, 2012, 2013, 2023) since the competition's name was rebranded to the UEFA Women's Champion's League but not the final, being knocked out by Olympique Lyonnais Féminin, Wolfsburg Frauen (twice) and Frankfurt Frauen.

Umeå would go on to reach back to back finals but would ultimately lose to Frankfurt Frauen by a score of 4-3 over two legs. That would end up being the Swedish side's last final in the competition as of 2024.
