Quarter finals

The trip to Voronezh turned into a little adventure for Turbine Potsdam . After a strenuous journey, the team was only allowed to move around the city as a group and accompanied by a military militia. In the second leg, the goal bees made everything clear. In a purely Swedish duel, Djurgården Damfotboll dethroned the defending champion from Umeå . Arsenal London prevailed after a show of strength against the Italians from Sardinia. Trondheims-Ørn had it easiest with the Belarusian representative from Bobruichanka.
