AFC Women’s Champions League - Preview - QF: Tokyo Verdy Beleza (JPN) v Stallion Laguna FC (PHI)

Tokyo: Tokyo Verdy Beleza will start as favourites when they host Stallion Laguna FC in their AFC Women’s Champions League 2025/26™ quarter-final on Saturday.

Japan's Tokyo Verdy impressed in the group stage while Stallion Laguna of the Philippines showed resilience in advancing to the quarter-finals.

Tokyo Verdy topped Group C with seven points, impressively finishing ahead of tough sides Naegohyang Women’s FC of DPR Korea, Suwon FC Women of Korea Republic and Myanmar's ISPE WFC.

WE League champions last year, Tokyo Verdy are very much in this season's domestic title race as they sit three points behind leaders Inac Kobe Leonesa and are hunting for their second continental crown after having emerged winners of the AFC Women's Club Championship in 2019.

Standing in their way will be tournament debutants Stallion Laguna FC, with the Philippines side securing their place in the knockout stage after a gruelling campaign which saw them having to navigate the preliminary and group stages.

They finished second in Group A of the preliminary round and then advanced to the quarter-finals as one of the two best third-placed sides and will relish the opportunity of locking horns with an established side like Tokyo Verdy.
