The dates have been confirmed for the all-Scandinavian UEFA Women's Cup final between Umeå IK and tournament debutants Fortuna Hjørring.
Umeå in second final
'Silver goal' rule
The away goal rule applies at 90 minutes for the final and, if the tie enters extra time, the 'silver goal' rule will apply, as seen in the UEFA Cup and UEFA Champions League finals. Should Umeå, the away side in the second leg, score in extra time, it will count as an away goal, meaning Hjørring will need to score twice to avoid defeat. If there are no goals in extra time, the match will go to penalties.
