Following the completion of the EHF European League Women qualification round 2 on Sunday, the draw for qualification round 3 will take place in Vienna on Tuesday 18 October at 4 pm CEST.

The draw for qualification round 3 will determine the 12 pairings for the last qualification round before the EHF European League Women 2022/23 group phase begins in January.

Eight teams progressed to qualification round 2 after earning aggregate wins in qualification round 2 last weekend. They will be joined in the draw by the 15 clubs directly seeded for qualification round 3.

In addition, following a protest by SCM Gloria Buzau last weekend after their match against Costa del Sol Malaga, the last participant of the upcoming stage will only be known after a final decision of the EHF Court of Handball.

Former EHF Champions League winners and last season's runners-up Viborg HK are among the teams in Pot 1, together with several more big names like HC Podravka Vegeta, Neptunes de Nantes, BV Borussia 09 Dortmund or SCM Ramnicu Valcea.

Tuesday's draw will consist of two pots of 12 teams, and the seeding list for the EHF European League Women has determined the pots for this draw. 

Four other teams - Ikast Håndbold, DVSC Schaeffler, Paris 92 and Molde Elite had their places in the group phase confirmed in July.

The playing dates for qualification round 3 are 3-4 December (first leg) and 10-11 December (second leg).

Fans can watch a live stream of the draw on the Home Of Handball Facebook page or via the YouTube channel.
