With Chelsea Women's pre-season tour of New Zealand and Australia drawing to a close, the focus now turns to the start of the competitive campaign. Coach Sonia Bompastor has set out the team's ambitions for the upcoming 2026/27 season, emphasizing their determination to win every trophy on offer. The players have returned to Cobham after a productive pre-season, where they secured impressive victories against Auckland and an A-League All-Stars side, setting the stage for a challenging but promising campaign ahead. The first competitive fixture is set for August 26, when Chelsea Women host Real Sociedad in the UEFA Women's Champions League third qualifying round. Tickets for the match are now on sale, providing fans with the opportunity to witness the Blues' ambitions in action. Bompastor, entering her third season at the helm, is clear about the standards expected at Chelsea. 'Obviously the ambition at Chelsea is to win everything,' she stated. 'We know that. That's why we work so hard every day. We have set our goals. We want to go as far as possible in every competition, but we also know the competition is becoming more difficult because a lot of clubs are investing, and a lot of clubs now are able to perform at their best. So, we are also realistic.' Despite the challenges, Bompastor remains optimistic, acknowledging the fine margins that can make the difference between success and failure. 'There are fine margins, and sometimes as much as you work hard, things don't always go the way you want. It's up to us to make sure we turn things our way,' she added. As Chelsea Women prepare for the upcoming season, the club is eager to see how the new signings and refreshed squad will perform, with the UEFA Women's Champions League serving as a key indicator of their progress.
