Scottish champions Hibernian will face Danish title winners Fortuna Hjorring in the second round of Women’s Champions League qualifying, while Glasgow City take on Austria Vienna.
Hibs, who were shock title winners on a dramatic final day of the SWPL season, know the prize for overcoming Fortuna would be a tie against the winners of the match between Cypriot champions Apollon Ladies and Swiss title holders Young Boys.
Glasgow City, who finished as runners-up in the SWPL, three points behind Hibs, take on Austria Vienna for the right to play Minsk.
The unusual second-round qualifying format involves teams being grouped together for mini-tournaments at yet-to-be-determined venues.
Semi-finals and a final are played, with the winners of each four-team group progressing to the third qualifying round, which is the last stage before the new 18-team league phase.
The second-round qualifying semi-finals are to be played on 27 August, with finals and third-place play-offs to follow three days later.
