2022–23 UEFA Women's Champions League group stage

2022–23 UEFA Women's Champions League group stage

International Women's football competition

The 2022–23 UEFA Women's Champions League group stage began on 19 October and ended on 22 December 2022.[1] A total of 16 teams competed in the group stage to decide the eight places in the knockout phase of the 2022–23 UEFA Women's Champions League.[2]

Draw

The draw was held on 3 October and saw the 16 teams split into four pools of four teams.[3][4]

Teams from the same association could not be drawn into the same group. Prior to the draw, UEFA formed one pairing of teams for associations with two or three teams based on television audiences, where one team was drawn into Groups A–B and another team into Groups C–D, so that the two teams played on different days. Clubs from countries with severe winter conditions (Sweden) were assigned a position in their group which allowed them to play away on matchday 6.[7]

Teams

Below are the participating teams (with their 2022 UEFA club coefficients),[6] grouped by their seeding pot. They include:[7]

Notes

  1. TH Champions League title holders, automatically placed into Pot 1 as top seed. Because the title holders were also the champions of the first-ranked association, the champions of the fourth-ranked association also entered the group stage.
  2. CP Winners of round 2 (Champions Path).
  3. LP Winners of round 2 (League Path).

Format

In each group, teams played against each other home-and-away in a round-robin format. The top two teams of each group advanced to the quarter-finals.

Tiebreakers

Teams were ranked according to points (3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw, 0 points for a loss). If two or more teams were tied on points, the following tiebreaking criteria were applied, in the order given, to determine the rankings (see Article 18 Equality of points – group stage, Regulations of the UEFA Women's Champions League):[2]

  1. Points in head-to-head matches among the tied teams;
  2. Goal difference in head-to-head matches among the tied teams;
  3. Goals scored in head-to-head matches among the tied teams;
  4. If more than two teams were tied, and after applying all head-to-head criteria above, a subset of teams were still tied, all head-to-head criteria above were reapplied exclusively to this subset of teams;
  5. Goal difference in all group matches;
  6. Goals scored in all group matches;
  7. Away goals scored in all group matches;
  8. Wins in all group matches;
  9. Away wins in all group matches;
  10. Disciplinary points (direct red card = 3 points; double yellow card = 3 points; single yellow card = 1 point);
  11. UEFA club coefficient.
