19 Sud Ladies Cup graduates to compete in the 24/25 UEFA Womens Champions League
Europe's most prestigious competition returns this Tuesday. 19 players who came through the Sud Ladies Cup will compete in the Champions League this season.
The 2023/24 Women's Champions League kicks off this Tuesday! As every year, sixteen teams divided into four groups of four will battle it out for Europe's top cup. Can Barcelona retain their title? Which clubs can topple the Catalans? Among the favourites and outsiders are 19 players who have played in the Sud Ladies Cup.
With six representatives, Olympique Lyonnais is the club with the most former SLC players. Féérine Belhadj, Alice Sombath, Kysha Sylla, Selma Bacha, Louna Belhout-Achi and Vicki Becho are among them. The Rhone-based club will be able to call on a host of assets in a group that is anything but easy, as the Lyon players will be up against Wolfsburg, Galatasaray and Roma.

Oriane Jean-François and Sandy Baltimore, who joined Chelsea in the summer transfer window, will be making their Champions League debut with their new club. The two young Frenchwomen, who played in the Sud Ladies Cup, have not inherited an easy group, where they will face Celtic, Real Madrid and Twente.

For Twente, there are four, all Dutch and all present when the Dutch national team took part in 2022.
