Chelsea begin Champions League qualification campaign
Sonia Bompastor’s side must negotiate a two-legged qualifier after finishing third in the Women’s Super League last season.
Chelsea have already set their sights on winning every available competition, but their immediate challenge is securing a place in the Champions League league phase.
Progression would also guarantee Chelsea a starting payment worth €505,000 before performance bonuses.
Bompastor will be without Erin Cuthbert, Mayra Ramirez and Manaka Matsukubo after confirming all three players are unavailable.
Chelsea otherwise have an almost fully available squad after winning both pre-season matches, beating Auckland FC 7-0 before recording a 3-0 victory over the A-League Women All Stars.
Real Sociedad finished third in Liga F last season. The Spanish side will host the return leg at Estadio Zubieta on Wednesday 2 September, with that game kicking off at 6pm UK time.
