Youth Club Trophy qualification semi-finals are drawn
A new women’s tournament joins the returning men’s competition on the road to the June finales.
Source publication date:
The EHF drew the semi-final pairings for eight Youth Club Trophy qualification tournaments in Vienna. Thirty-two teams across the men’s and women’s competitions now know their first opponents in the route towards the championship weekends in June.
The men’s event returns after GOG won the inaugural edition in 2025. A women’s competition has been added for 2026, expanding the pathway for under-eighteen club teams and connecting both competitions with the federation’s leading senior club events.
The qualification tournaments will take place in late March and early April, with four teams eventually reaching each final event. The women’s trophy will be decided alongside the Budapest Final Four on 6 and 7 June; the men’s follows in Cologne a week later.
