Quarter-final pairings for the Challenge Cup to be set on Tuesday

Following the second leg matches of the Last 16 all eight teams for the Men’s Challenge Cup have been confirmed and the draw on Tuesday 23 February at 11:00 hrs at the EHF Office in Vienna will determine the pairings in next stage.

All eight remaining teams in the competition will be drawn from the same pot and no country protection will apply which means that last season’s runners-up ABC/UMinho can face the fellow Portuguese club S.L. Benfica.

The first quarter-final leg is scheduled for 19/20 March followed by the second leg matches one week later. The Tuesday’s draw will also set the potential pairings of the semi-finals which will take place on 23/24 April (1st leg) and 30 April/1 May (2nd leg).

Men’s Challenge Cup quarter-finalists:
KV Sasja HC (BEL)
HC Dukla Praha (CZE)
