What is the Women's Champions Cup and who do Arsenal play in final?

On Sunday, Arsenal will have a chance to win the inaugural Women's Champions Cup when they face Brazilian side Corinthians at Emirates Stadium.

The new six-team competition was announced by Fifa in March 2025, along with the introduction of a 16-team Women's Club World Cup.

Fifa have introduced the global competition in an attempt to help clubs maximise commercial opportunities.

The Women's Champions Cup will run annually, except in years involving the Women's Club World Cup - another new Fifa competition that will take place every four years and be held for the first time in 2028.

When the Champions Cup was first announced, Fifa president Gianni Infantino said: "Women's football has reached new heights at national team level and now it's time for global competitions that showcase the best clubs from around the world."

The Women's Champions Cup brings together the champions of the different continental competitions, similar to the old format of the men's Club World Cup.

The six continental confederations are:

The next two editions of the Champions Cup will happen in 2027 and 2029, with the Club World Cup starting in between.

Seedings for the second year of the Champions Cup will be based on performance in the 2026 edition.

Arsenal are Europe's representatives in the tournament after they won the Women's Champions League last season.

They beat Morocco's AS FAR - who won the African Champions League last season - on Wednesday to reach the final, which will be held at Emirates Stadium.

In the other semi-final Brazilian side Corinthians - the Copa Libertadores champions - scored a late winner against New York-based Gotham FC, who won the first Concacaf W Champions Cup last May.

Auckland United of New Zealand and China's Wuhan Chegu Jiangda have already been knocked out of the competition.

The inaugural Women's Champions Cup winners will earn $2.3m (£1.7m), the biggest-ever single award in women's club football, says its organiser Fifa.

The runners-up will earn $1m (£735,000), the losing semi-finalists will get $200,000 (£147,000), while Auckland United and Wuhan Chegu Jiangda, who both bowed out in the first round of the competition, will receive $100,000 (£73,500).

Brentford's Gtech Community Stadium, which holds about 17,000 fans, hosted the two semi-finals on Wednesday, 28 January.

The final (18:00) and third-place play-off (14:45) will be played at the 60,704-capacity Emirates - Arsenal's home ground for their WSL matches - on Sunday, 1 February.
