Chelsea have drawn Spanish side Real Sociedad in the UEFA Women's Champions League third qualifying round, with the first leg in England on 26 August.
AIChelsea have been handed a tie against Real Sociedad in the third qualifying round of the UEFA Women's Champions League. Not exactly a beach holiday, then.
The draw, conducted at UEFA's base in Nyon, Switzerland, featured 18 clubs split across two routes - the Champions Path and the League Path. Chelsea were among five seeded sides in the League Path, as WSL Full-Time reports.
The knockout tie will be settled over two legs. Chelsea host the first on 26 August, before heading to Spain for the return on 2 September. Kick-off times should be confirmed within 36 hours.
The winners progress to the 18-team League Phase - a format UEFA rolled out last season. Manchester City and Arsenal skip this drama entirely, having already secured direct entry. Lucky them.
The League Phase draw takes place on 27 August.
