London will host the final phase of the first Women's Champions Cup tournament early next year, FIFA has announced.

Arsenal will be Europe's representatives in the tournament after their Champions League success last season.

The tournament, which involves the winners of the premier women's club competition in each of the continental confederations, will be played between 28 January and 1 February, FIFA said.

It is understood the venue in London is still to be confirmed.

The competition was approved by FIFA Council in March this year, with London understood to have been selected because of England's proven engagement with the women's game.

The final phase features four matches - two semi-finals, a third-place match and the final.
