Path to European Cup glory laid out for last eight

Despite having three Spanish clubs in the quarter-final draw, a national derby was avoided in Tuesday’s EHF European Cup Women draw event.

The short and sweet event at the EHF Office in Vienna saw four intriguing quarter-final pairings made as well as the two semi-final pairings, meaning all eight teams have an idea of what it will take to reach the final of the new-look third-tier club competition.

2019 Challenge Cup winners Rocasa Gran Canaria will face Yalikavaksports Club, who were convincing winners over Yalikavaksports Club in an all-Turkish Last 16 clash.

HC Lokomotiva Zagreb, featuring a number of players from the heroic EHF EURO 2020 bronze won by Croatia, will face DHC Slavia Praha in the next round.

The first leg of the quarter-finals is scheduled for 13/14 February and the second leg will follow one week later.
