The 2013–14 UEFA Women's Champions League was the 13th edition of the European women's championship for football clubs. The final was held at Estádio do Restelo, Lisbon, Portugal.

Contents

German team VfL Wolfsburg won the title over Swedish club Tyresö FF after turning a 0–2 into a 4–3 win. Wolfsburg became the third side to defend the Champions League title.

Team allocation and distribution

Austria had overtaken Norway for 8th place in the UEFA coefficient ranking and thus assured themselves a second entry.

Countries were allocated places according to their UEFA league coefficient for women. Here CH denotes the national champion, RU the national runner-up, Ned 1 and Bel 1 the best placed Belgian and Dutch team in their joint league.

54 teams entered the competition, with KÍ Klaksvík retaining their record being the only team to play all editions of the UEFA Women's Cup and Women's Champions League so far.

Round and draw dates

UEFA has scheduled the competition as follows.

Seeding and draw

32 teams entered in the qualifying round, and were divided into eight groups of four teams, with one team from each seeding pot. Host countries won't be drawn together.

Groups were played as mini tournaments over a span of six days.

Ranking of group runners-up

The two best runners-up also qualify for the round of 32. The match against the fourth-placed team in the group does not count for the purposes of the runners-up table. The tie-breakers in this ranking are:

  1. Higher number of points obtained
  2. Superior goal difference
  3. Higher number of goals scored
  4. Higher number of club coefficient points
  5. Fair play conduct in all group matches

Knockout phase

22 teams enter the competition in the round of 32. They are joined by ten teams from the qualifying round. Teams marked (Q) advanced from qualifying.

Round of 32

The round of 32 and round of 16 was drawn on 5 September 2013. Teams from the same association or qualifying group couldn't be drawn together. Seeded teams played the second leg at home. Teams are awarded 20,000 Euro for both legs. A sum criticized to be too small by team managers, leaving teams like Arsenal who have to fly by plane with financial losses.
