Lyon and Paris St Germain Set For Cardiff Showpiece

The 2017 Women's Champions League Final will take place at the Cardiff City Stadium on Thursday 1st June at 7:45pm and, after this weekend's semi-final second legs, it will be an all-French occasion in the Principality just two days before the Champions League Final itself.

Manchester City's 1-0 victory away to Lyon, the goal scored by USA star Carli Lloyd, was not enough to see the Women's Super League champions through to the final as Lyon had brought a 3-1 lead back from the Academy Stadium in the first leg.

PSG gained a measure of revenge for their men's side by completing a 5-1 aggregate victory against Barcelona to set up the final, tickets for which have been priced at just £6 for Adults and £3 for Juniors and Seniors..

Manchester City will try again in next season's Champions League after winning the FA WSL last time around and also have the Women's FA Cup Final at Wembley to look forward to against Birmingham City on Saturday May 13.

Tickets are priced at £15 for Adults, £5 for Concessions (OAP's and Students) and free for Children.

Meanwhile, the domestic Spring Series has a busy schedule between now and early June alhough there is no doubt that the demise of Notts County Ladies just days before the start of the season is a huge blow to the credibility of the Women's game and raises questions about the viability of teams unless they are financially underpinned by their parent clubs.

In WSL 2, Everton Ladies will be in action at Goodison Park on Sunday 14 May with admission free for the 2pm kick-off against Watford.
