After 20 qualification matches already played, the group matches of the EHF European League Men start on Tuesday. Five former EHF Champions League winners and four more former winners of other European Cup competitions are part of the 32 clubs this season. All of them hope to book a ticket to the EHF Finals in Hamburg on 24/25 May 2025 – and 31 teams hunt defending champions SG Flensburg-Handewitt. Right in the first round, many top duels are scheduled – including old and new faces in the competition.
