Chelsea Women Begin 2024-25 Champions League Campaign Against Austria Vienna
Chelsea Women are starting their 11th attempt to win the UEFA Women's Champions League title. The team enters the competition following a third-place finish in the domestic league last season.
Chelsea Women have officially commenced their latest campaign in the UEFA Women's Champions League, facing off against Austria Vienna. The club enters the tournament with a storied history in domestic football, having secured eight Women's Super League (WSL) titles, including a notable streak of six consecutive championships between 2019 and 2025. Despite this domestic dominance, the club has yet to secure a European title, having reached the final only once in their history.
The current campaign marks a period of transition for the club. After finishing third in the WSL last season, Chelsea is no longer the reigning English champion. They currently occupy the third position in the domestic league table as they look to translate their long-standing English success into a European trophy. The pressure remains high for the squad, particularly as they seek to overcome the historical hurdle of failing to secure the Champions League title despite their consistent domestic performance. The match against Austria Vienna serves as the opening chapter of this 11th attempt to capture the continental crown.
