After the last matches of the playoffs for qualification to the Champions League concluded on Thursday, the draw took place on Friday. The draw divided the 16 qualified teams into four groups of four teams each. This year, Slovenia will be represented in the Champions League by three Slovenian players: Maja Madon (AS Roma), Mateja Zver, and Izabela Križaj (both from SKN St. Pölten). The group stage, divided into six competitive weeks, will be played from October 8 to December 18.
Maja Madon makes her Champions League debut
Maja Madon was still representing Radomlje at the beginning of last summer, followed by a transfer to Olimpija. The 17-year-old midfielder left the Zmajčice after just one season, as she strengthened Roma before the start of this season. The draw placed Roma in Group A, alongside Wolfsburg, Lyon, and Galatasaray.
Mateja Zver and Izabela Križaj face current European champions
After defeating Mura, the players of St. Pölten secured their spot in the Champions League. The Austrian champions are represented by Mateja Zver and Izabela Križaj, who played a crucial role in both matches against Mura. The draw assigned Group D to the Austrians, which is considered one of the toughest groups. In Group D, alongside St. Pölten, are Barcelona, Manchester City, and Hammarby.
Alongside the two Slovenian-influenced groups, there are Groups B and C. Group B consists of Chelsea, Real Madrid, Twente, and Celtic, while Group C includes Bayern, Arsenal, Juventus, and Valerenga.
The final of the new season of this elite competition will take place between May 23 and May 25. It will be hosted in Lisbon at the Estádio Jose Alvalade.
