76 teams vie to succeed Vojvodina on EHF European Cup Men throne

On the other hand, Norwegian side Naerbo IL are looking for a third consecutive participation in the final. They won the EHF European Cup in 2021/22 season but lost the previous season’s final to Vojvodina in May.

52 out of the 76 participating clubs have been seeded directly to round 2 which is scheduled for 14-15 October (first leg) and 21-22 October 2023.

The remaining 24 teams start their campaign one step earlier and play their round 1 matches on 9-10 September (first leg) and 16-17 September 2023.

The draw for all round 1 and round 2 matches takes place in Vienna on 18 July at 11:00 CEST. A live stream will be available on the EHF’s Home of Handball Youtube channel.
