Big names await their EHF Cup fate

32 teams look forward to Tuesday morning’s Men’s EHF Cup Qualification Round 3 draw, held at the EHF Office in Vienna.

The competition is really taken up a notch in this round, with second and third placed teams from the VELUX EHF Champions League qualification enter this round, as do 2013 champions HSV Hamburg and last season’s EHF Cup Finals hosts Füchse Berlin.
