The 2016–17 UEFA Women's Champions League was the 16th edition of the European women's club football championship organised by UEFA, and the 8th edition since being rebranded as the UEFA Women's Champions League.

The final was held at the Cardiff City Stadium in Cardiff, Wales on 1 June 2017, two days before the final of the men's tournament played at the Millennium Stadium.{{cite web|url=http://shekicks.net/news/view/11864|title=2016–17 Champions League final in Cardiff|date=1 August 2015|work=shekicks.net|access-date=2015-07-01|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150701141430/http://shekicks.net/news/view/11864|archive-date=2015-07-01|url-status=dead}}

Lyon were the defending champions, and successfully defended their title after defeating Paris Saint-Germain in the final 7–6 on penalties after a goalless draw, and equalled Frankfurt's record of four European titles.{{cite web|url=https://www.uefa.com/womenschampionsleague/news/023a-0e16864442d1-ec7242cb08a7-1000--lyon-match-frankfurt-s-record/|title=Lyon match Frankfurt's record|publisher=UEFA|date=1 June 2017}}

Expansion

The tournament was expanded such that the top 12 national associations (instead of the previous top 8) in the rankings were allowed to enter two teams in the competition.{{cite web|url=http://www.uefa.org/about-uefa/executive-committee/news/newsid=2226916.html|title=New distribution concept for club competitions approved|publisher=UEFA.org|date=23 March 2015}}

The change has been criticized, as it broadens the tournament but doesn't add teams from top countries.{{cite web|url=http://www.framba.de/content/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=6154%3Avorschlag-zur-aufwertung-des-europapokals-der-frauen&catid=122&Itemid=887|title=Vorschlag zur Aufwertung des Europapokals der Frauen|date=23 March 2015|work=framba.de|access-date=2015-08-11|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150924035832/http://www.framba.de/content/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=6154%3Avorschlag-zur-aufwertung-des-europapokals-der-frauen&catid=122&Itemid=887|archive-date=2015-09-24|url-status=dead}} The lack of an increase in prize-money also has been criticized.{{cite web|url=http://dailycannon.com/2015/03/uefa-increase-countries-eligible-two-slots-womens-champions-league/|title=UEFA increase countries eligible for two slots in women's Champions League|date=25 March 2015|work=dailycannon.com}} For the first time the clubs receive money for flights to away games. The amount increases from €12,000 over €17,000 to €20,000 based on flight time.

Association team allocation

A total of 59 teams from 47 of the 55 UEFA member associations participated in the 2016–17 UEFA Women's Champions League, which was a record number of entries.{{cite web|url=https://www.uefa.com/womenschampionsleague/news/022e-0e163e180d0b-cddb87b0adac-1000--women-s-champions-league-entries-confirmed/|title=Women's Champions League entries confirmed|publisher=UEFA|date=9 June 2016}} The ranking based on the UEFA Women's Champions League association coefficient is used to determine the number of participating teams for each association:{{cite web|url=http://www.uefa.org/MultimediaFiles/Download/Regulations/uefaorg/Regulations/02/35/37/41/2353741_DOWNLOAD.pdf|title=Regulations of the UEFA Women's Champions League 2016/17 Season|publisher=UEFA|date=4 March 2016}}

  • Associations 1–12 each have two teams qualify.
  • All other associations, should they enter, each have one team qualify.
  • The winners of the 2015–16 UEFA Women's Champions League were given an additional entry if they do not qualify for the 2016–17 UEFA Women's Champions League through their domestic league. Since the title holders Lyon qualified through their domestic league, the additional entry for the Champions League title holders was not necessary for this season.

=Association ranking=

For the 2016–17 UEFA Women's Champions League, the associations were allocated places according to their 2015 UEFA Women's Champions League association coefficient, which takes into account their performance in European competitions from 2010–11 to 2014–15.{{cite web|title=2016/17 coefficient rankings|url=https://www.uefa.com/MultimediaFiles/Download/competitions/General/02/28/63/01/2286301_DOWNLOAD.pdf|publisher=UEFA|access-date=25 September 2015}}

=Distribution=

The format of the competition remains unchanged from previous years, starting from the qualifying round, which is played as mini-tournaments with four teams in each group, followed by the knockout phase starting from the round of 32, which is played as home-and-away two-legged ties except for the one-match final.

Unlike the men's Champions League, not every association enters a team, and so the exact number of teams in each round (qualifying round and round of 32) can not be determined until the full entry list is known. In general, the title holders, the champions of the top 12 associations, plus the runners-up of highest-ranked associations (exact number depending on the number of entries) receive a bye to the round of 32. All other teams (runners-up of lowest-ranked associations plus champions of associations starting from 13th) enter the qualifying round, with the group winners plus a maximum of two best runners-up advancing to the round of 32 to join the direct qualifiers.

With 59 entries for this season, the lowest-ranked 36 teams enter the qualifying round (9 groups), with only the 9 group winners advancing to the round of 32 to join the 23 direct qualifiers.{{cite web|url=https://www.uefa.com/MultimediaFiles/Download/competitions/General/02/28/63/04/2286304_DOWNLOAD.pdf|title=Access List for the UEFA Women's Champions League 2016/17 |publisher=UEFA}}

=Teams=

The following list the teams that qualified and entered this season's competition. Here CH denotes the national champion, RU the national runner-up. Entries from 49 associations were possible. Three associations have no current league (Azerbaijan, Liechtenstein, San Marino). Azerbaijan only has junior leagues and teams from Liechtenstein play in the Swiss leagues. Gibraltar's league is only nine-a-side for 2015/16 and Andorra's is only five-a-side.{{cite web|url=http://www.faf.ad/pnfg/NPcd/NFG_VisClasificacion?cod_primaria=1000120&codjornada=12&codcompeticion=150289&codgrupo=150290&codjornada=12|title=Femení Base, Femení Base|date=11 August 2015|work=faf.ad}} Thus they are ineligible as well. Armenia has a regular league with an 11-a-side champion crowned for autumn and summer,{{cite web|url=http://www.ffa.am/hy/2014-2015/group/227|title=Մրցաշարեր|date=11 August 2015|work=ffa.am}} but hasn't registered for European competition the last years. Also Georgia and Luxembourg did not enter a team. It's the first time a club (men or women) from Kosovo enters a UEFA competition.{{cite web|url=https://koha.net/?id=6&l=117234|title= UEFA lejon Hajvalinë të luajë në Ligën e Kampionëve|date=7 May 2016|work=koha.net}}

Qualifying round

{{Main article|2016–17 UEFA Women's Champions League qualifying round}}

The draw was held on 24 June 2016, 13:30 CEST, at the UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland.{{cite web|url=http://www.uefa.com/womenschampionsleague/season=2017/draws/round=2000808/index.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160814224507/http://www.uefa.com/womenschampionsleague/season=2017/draws/round=2000808/index.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=14 August 2016|title=Women's Champions League qualifying round draw|publisher=UEFA|access-date=24 June 2016}}{{cite web|url=https://www.uefa.com/womenschampionsleague/news/022e-0e163e875f59-326aabec1aa4-1000--women-s-champions-league-qualifying-round-draw/|title=Women's Champions League qualifying round draw|publisher=UEFA|date=24 June 2016}} The 36 teams were allocated into four seeding positions based on their UEFA club coefficients at the beginning of the season. They were drawn into nine groups of four containing one team from each of the four seeding positions. First, the nine teams which were pre-selected as hosts were drawn from their own designated pot and allocated to their respective group as per their seeding positions. Next, the remaining 27 teams were drawn from their respective pot which were allocated according to their seeding positions.

In each group, teams play against each other in a round-robin mini-tournament at the pre-selected hosts. The nine group winners advance to the round of 32 to join the 23 teams which qualified directly. The matchdays are 23, 25 and 28 August 2016.

Tiebreakers
The teams are ranked according to points (3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw, 0 points for a loss). If two or more teams are equal on points on completion of the group matches, the following criteria are applied in the order given to determine the rankings (regulations Articles 14.01 and 14.02):

  1. higher number of points obtained in the group matches played among the teams in question;
  2. superior goal difference from the group matches played among the teams in question;
  3. higher number of goals scored in the group matches played among the teams in question;
  4. if, after having applied criteria 1 to 3, teams still have an equal ranking, criteria 1 to 3 are reapplied exclusively to the matches between the teams in question to determine their final rankings. If this procedure does not lead to a decision, criteria 5 to 9 apply;
  5. superior goal difference in all group matches;
  6. higher number of goals scored in all group matches;
  7. if only two teams have the same number of points, and they are tied according to criteria 1 to 6 after having met in the last round of the group, their ranking is determined by a penalty shoot-out (this criterion is not used if more than two teams have the same number of points, or if the rankings of the two teams are not relevant for which team qualifies for the next stage).
  8. lower disciplinary points total based only on yellow and red cards received in all group matches (red card = 3 points, yellow card = 1 point, expulsion for two yellow cards in one match = 3 points);
  9. higher club coefficient.

Knockout phase

{{main article|2016–17 UEFA Women's Champions League knockout phase}}

In the knockout phase, teams play against each other over two legs on a home-and-away basis, except for the one-match final. The mechanism of the draws for each round is as follows:

  • In the draw for the round of 32, the sixteen teams with the highest UEFA coefficients are seeded (with the title holders being the automatic top seed), and the other sixteen teams are unseeded. The seeded teams are drawn against the unseeded teams, with the seeded teams hosting the second leg. Teams from the same association cannot be drawn against each other.
  • In the draw for the round of 16, the eight teams with the highest UEFA coefficients are seeded (with the title holders being the automatic top seed should they qualify), and the other eight teams are unseeded. The seeded teams are drawn against the unseeded teams, with the order of legs decided by draw. Teams from the same association cannot be drawn against each other.
  • In the draws for the quarter-finals onwards, there are no seedings, and teams from the same association can be drawn against each other.
