Source publication date:
The men’s Challenger Cup Final Eight draw placed Sliema, Galatasaray, Heybeliada and San Giljan together in Group B. Enka, Branik Maribor, EVK Zaibas and Vitoria Sport Clube were drawn into Group A for the tournament scheduled from 12 to 15 March.
The group phase will decide the semi-final places, with the two Maltese and two Turkish clubs in Group B meeting directly. Group A brings together the previous season’s runners-up Zaibas, Enka and the Slovenian and Portuguese qualifiers following their completed qualification campaigns.
A separate classification tournament will determine ninth to twelfth places among Cetus Espoo, Banja Luka, Carouge Natation and Mouscronnois. Those teams will play a round robin without a further draw, while the Final Eight venue remained to be announced in the original notice.
