The draw for the EHF European Cup Men round 3 will take place in the EHF office in Vienna at 11:00 CEST on Tuesday 24 October 2023. The draw will be streamed live on Home of Handball YouTube channel.
There will be no country protection with the first team drawn playing the first match at home.
Last season's runners-up, Nærbø IL, were eliminated in round 2 after Afturelding overturned a five-goal deficit from the first leg. Afturelding will be drawn in pot 2 and could face fellow Icelandic sides FH Hafnarfjordur, Valur and IBV Vestmannaeyjar who are all in pot 1.
HCB Karvina had a hugely dramatic route to round 3 with their penalty shoot-out win in Austria over Fivers. The Czech side finds itself in pot 1 along with country fellow SKKP Handball Brno.
Last season's champions Vojvodina ply their trade in the EHF European League Men 2023/24, so RK Metaloplastika Elixir Sabac and HC Dinamo Pancevo have the task of representing Serbia on this stage. HC Dinamo Pancevo had to face huge adversity en route to round 3 having come from behind in round 2 against Dutch outfit HV KRAS/Volendam. A huge second leg saw them take a five-goal win away from home and put their name in the pot.
