Encyclopedia
The 2011−12 UEFA Women's Champions League is the eleventh edition of the European women's championship for football
clubs. The final will be held in Munich
, Germany
on 17 May 2012.
As in the past two Champions League seasons, the eight highest ranked nations got two entries to the tournament. The point of entry was changed this season however. In the previous years the national runner-ups had to enter the qualification round. With those teams always easing through their groups, with the exception of Umea in 2010-11, UEFA decided to give those a direct entry to the round of 32. As a result, eight nations which under previous rules would have had direct entry to that round now had to go through the qualifying stage.
Associations ranked 1–8 entered two clubs, the remaining associations entered one team. Unlike the men's Champions League
, not every association have entered teams in the past, so the exact number of clubs in each round was only known shortly before the draw.
