Champions League football returns to Easter Road

Hibs will host the UEFA Women’s Champions League Round of 32 meeting between Hibernian Ladies and SK Slavia Praha at Easter Road Stadium.

Grant Scott’s side topped their group with three wins in three games against hosts Pomurje, FC Nike and Cardiff Met.

Hibs now face last season’s quarter-finalists, who will travel to Edinburgh for the first leg on Wednesday 11 September (7.45pm kick-off).

The return leg takes place two weeks later in Prague, with the Czech outfit able to boast an impressive record in reaching the last 32 in the past five consecutive seasons.

Hibs, fresh from the 7-1 defeat of city rivals Hearts in Sunday’s SSE Scottish Cup tie, are the reigning SWPL Cup and SSE Scottish Cup holders and have been since 2016.

Hibs previously hosted Bayern Munich at Easter Road in the competition and fans are being encouraged to turn out in number to support the team.

Tickets cost £10/5 and can be purchased via the club’s website.
