With the Men’s Challenge Cup Last 16 coming to an end over the past weekend, the remaining eight teams from seven nations can now look forward to discovering who stands between them and a place in the final.

The draw at the EHF Office in Vienna on Tuesday 19 February at 11:00 hrs will determine not only the quarter-final, but also the semi-final pairings.

The first quarter-final leg in the Men's Challenge Cup is scheduled for 23/24 March, while the second leg will follow one week later. The semi-finals will begin on 20/21 April.
