DRAW PREVIEW: The draw of the 12 ties for qualification round 2 takes place on Tuesday at 11:00 CEST
The EHF European League Men 2021/22 season is in full flow with qualification round 1 completed last weekend.
Now closing in on a coveted place in the group phase, 24 teams will learn their opponents during the draw for qualification round 2 on Tuesday 7 September.
The draw at the EHF Office in Vienna starts Tuesday at 11:00 CEST and will be streamed live on the Home of Handball YouTube channel as well as the EHF European League Facebook page.
The first leg will be played on Tuesday 21 September, followed by the all-decisive return leg a week later, on 28 September.
The 12 winners of qualification round 2 will join the 12 teams that have been seeded directly into the 24-team group phase, which throws off on 19 October.
The 24 teams for Tuesday’s draw have been seeded into two pots of 12, with each team from pot 1 being paired with a team from pot 2. The team drawn first has home right in the first leg.
No country-protection rule will be applied, so the teams from Denmark, Spain, France, Poland and Portugal, who are represented in both pots, could potentially meet a team from the same country.
