Canadians Kadeisha Buchanan and Ashley Lawrence learn Champions League path

Jun 26, 2020 | 8:52 AM

NYON, Switzerland — The Women’s Champions League path has been set for Canadians Kadeisha Buchanan and Ashley Lawrence.

The European club championship has been on hold due to the global pandemic, with the last action in late October with the completion of the round of 16. 

UEFA announced last week that the remainder of the postponed tournament would be played as an eight-team single-game knockout tournament, based on the previously decided quarter-final matchups.

On Friday, UEFA held a draw to determine the venues and dates for those matches.

The tournament will run Aug. 21 to 30 in Spain at the San Mames Stadium in Bilbao and Anoeta Stadium in San Sebastian.
