Juventus Women Open Champions League Campaign Against Benfica

Juventus begin their UEFA Women's Champions League league phase at the Allianz Stadium against a Benfica side chasing a first European win since 2023/24.

Juventus Women start their UEFA Women's Champions League league phase campaign with a home fixture against Benfica at the Allianz Stadium in Turin. The Portuguese visitors are an opponent the Italian side also faced in last season's competition.

That 2025/26 meeting remains the only prior Women's Champions League encounter between the two clubs, and Juventus won it 2-1 behind a brace from Cecilia Salvai. The result extended a strong pattern for the Bianconere, who have won their opening match in each of their last four Champions League campaigns.

Juventus come into the new season hoping to turn around a dip in European form. Excluding qualifiers, they have one draw and two defeats in their last three Champions League matches, a slide that followed a run of four wins, one draw and only two losses across seven games.

Benfica, meanwhile, remain searching for a European victory. The Portuguese club are winless in their last 11 Champions League matches, with five draws and six defeats, and their most recent win in the competition was a 1-0 result over Eintracht Frankfurt in the 2023/24 group stage.
