The 16 teams eagerly await the draw. Meanwhile, EHF has released the pots for the group phase draw on Thursday, 27 June.
Via a slightly complicated procedure, teams will end up in either one group or the other to set the scene for an array of exciting matches next season.
All that is known so far is that local rivals from France, Hungary and Norway won’t meet in the group stage. Denmark and Romania presents three teams each which guarantees at least one derby in each group.
