The Opposition

Sonia Bompastor took the reins at Chelsea in the summer of 2024, succeeding the legendary Emma Hayes, who departed after securing seven Women's Super League (WSL) titles with the club.

Under Bompastor's leadership, Chelsea have continued their domestic dominance, remaining unbeaten in the WSL this season.

They have also secured the Subway Women's League Cup and advanced to the Adobe Women's FA Cup Final, where they will face Manchester United at Wembley Stadium.

In the UEFA Women's Champions League, Chelsea have reached the semi-finals but suffered a 3-0 defeat to Barcelona in the first leg.

A standout addition to the squad is U.S. international defender Naomi Girma, who joined from San Diego Wave in January 2025 for a world-record transfer fee of €900,000 ($1.1 million).

Key players to watch include Lioness Lauren James, known for her dynamic attacking play, and top scorer Aggie Beever-Jones, who has netted eight goals in the WSL this season.
