Galatasaray women: Historical entry into the group phase of the Champions League!

Atatürk-Olympiastadion, Istanbul, Türkei - The VfL women face an exciting challenge! On Wednesday they compete against Galatasaray in the legendary Ataturk Olympic Stadium in Istanbul. This impressive stadium, which offers space for over 75,000 spectators, was already the setting for the UEFA Champions League finals and promises a breathtaking backdrop for the upcoming duel. The tickets are free and can be obtained from the Galatasaray ticket portal - a real highlight for fans!

Galatasaray on the way to the group phase

The Turkish women have already made a name for themselves this season. After two convincing victories in the first qualification round against Racing FC Union from Luxembourg (4: 1) and Biik Shymkent from Kazakhstan (5: 0), they made it into the group phase of the Champions League with an exciting play-off against Slavia Prague (2: 2/2: 1). But the first games were hard: against the favorite Olympique Lyon there was a 0-3 defeat, followed by a painful 1: 6 against AS Rome. In the Turkish Super League they are currently taking sixth place, but still have two games less than the competition.

The stars of the game

The meeting by the players with German roots becomes particularly exciting. Hapsatou Malado Diallo, the 19-year-old striker, is the team's most dangerous player and has already scored four goals this season. Ecem Cümert, who started her career in the Freiburg offspring, and Arzu Karabulut, who played 04 Leverkusen for Fortuna Cologne and Bayer, also have international experience. These talented players could be crucial for the outcome of the game!
