The draw has taken place for the first and second qualifying rounds of the 2006/07 UEFA Women's Cup at UEFA headquarters in Switzerland.
Nine groups
The first round, to be played between 8-13 August, consists of nine groups of four teams. The winners of each section will progress to join the seeded teams in four second-round groups, also comprising four teams, which are scheduled for 12-17 September. The top two clubs from these pools will qualify for the quarter-finals in October. As in previous campaigns, the two-legged final will be held in May. Germany's 1. FFC Frankfurt defeated Bundesliga rivals 1. FFC Turbine Potsdam 7-2 on aggregate in last season's showpiece.
