With the exception of those in paragraph 2 below, the criteria defined in this chapter must be fulfilled by clubs in order for them to be granted a licence to enter the UEFA Women's Champions League.
Failure to fulfil the criteria defined from Article 24 to Article 31, Article 34, Article 36, Article 41 and from Article 44 to Article 48 and Paragraph 21.02 does not lead to refusal of a licence but to a sanction defined by the licensor according to its catalogue of sanctions (see Article 8).
