#AWCL Knockout Stage draw produces sizzlers
Kuala Lumpur: The eight teams discovered the road to glory following the AFC Women’s Champions League 2025/26™ Knockout Stage Draw on Thursday.
The action will kick off with the single leg quarter-finals, which will be played on March 28 and 29, 2026.

Defending champions Wuhan Jiangda Women’s FC will face Suwon FC Women in what promises to be an enticing tie. China PR's Wuhan Jiangda advanced as the Group B winners while Korea Republic’s Suwon finished third in Group C. 

Melbourne City FC, who lost last season's final in a heartbreaking penalty shootout, will face Uzbekistan’s PFC Nasaf. The Australian side topped Group A with a perfect record of nine points and will be confident of their chances against Nasaf, who were the Group B runners-up.
