Women's Champions League: Group stage draw details to know!

On Monday afternoon the draw for the group stage of the UEFA Women's Champions League will take place.

The draw, which gets underway at 13:00 CEST in Nyon, Switzerland, will see the 16 remaining teams drawn into four groups of four.

Here's how it works, and who Alessandro Spugna's Roma Women side could end up facing...

The Pots

The 16 teams are separated into four pots of four, based on their UEFA co-efficient and competition or domestic status (champions or otherwise).

Roma, given this is their first adventure in Europe and thus have a low co-efficient ranking at this point, are in Pot 4.

Pot 1, meanwhile, is made up of tournament holders and French champions Olympique Lyon and the champions of the three other top-ranked leagues in Europe (England, Spain and Germany).

The rest of the pots are based on clubs' historic performances in Europe

POT 1

• Lyon, Barcelona, Wolfsburg, Chelsea

POT 2

• PSG, Bayern Munich, Slavia Prague, Arsenal

POT 3

• Rosengard, Real Madrid, Juventus, St. Polten

POT 4

• Zurich, Vllzania, Benfica, Roma

The Rules of the Draw

Clubs from the same nation cannot be drawn together in the same group, meaning Roma and Juventus will be separated at this stage. This rule has an impact in other ways, of course: with multiple clubs from England, Spain and France involved, national separation will have a bigger impact as the draw progresses

It is also worth noting that clubs from nations with severe winter conditions (Sweden, for example) will be assigned an away fixture on their last group game.
