Interest in the new EHF Champions League season is reaching a new height – even before the first ball has been thrown.

Friday’s draw for the 2021/22 group phase of the continental top flights in men’s and women’s club handball will be broadcast live from Vienna to no fewer than 22 countries.

The figure marks a significant increase compared to last year, when eight TV stations showed the draw live.

The 16 teams in the EHF Champions League Men as well as the 16 in the DELO EHF Champions League will learn their group phase opponents during the draw at the EHF Office in Vienna on Friday 2 July, with the ceremony starting at 11:00 CEST.
