Foreword EHF President Dear handball friends, It gives me great pleasure to welcome supporters, players, officials and partners to the 2021/22 season of the DELO EHF Champions League. After the difficulties the world faced in 2020, towards the end of last season we saw a gradual return to elite level sport and fans inside arenas. During last season and during this summer, the EHF and EHF Marketing invested additional time to prepare for the forthcoming season with the aim of developing the competition as the benchmark event in the indoor sports market in a time where Covid-19 still remains a topic of discussion. Last season belonged to Vipers Kristiansand, who lifted the trophy for the very first time in their history. Now we are all set to usher in the 29th season in 2021/22 which will open a new chapter in European handball’s top flight. As was the case last season, the DELO EHF Champions League will once again be played in a system with 16 elite teams in two groups of eight, starting directly at the group phase played in a round-robin league format. The top two teams in each group will then qualify directly for the quarter-finals with teams finishing in seventh and eighth place eliminated. The four remaining teams from each group (3rd-6th) will qualify for a play-off round, before progressing to the quarter-finals and then the DELO EHF FINAL4. Once more fans will have an ‘appointment to view’ each week, and with no overlap of men’s and women’s top competitions. DELO Women’s EHF Champions League will be played on Saturday (at 16:00 and 18:00 CEST/CET) and Sunday (at 14:00 and 16:00 CEST/CET), with Wednesdays and Thursdays set aside for the EHF Champions League Men. After the pre-season break, all 16 teams return with hope of lifting the winners’ trophy at competition’s conclusion. The line-up in both groups speak volumes about the quality of all squads and, even though there might be some favourites and underdogs on paper, this competition’s history has already proven many times that surprising results can be expected on a daily basis. As ever we, together with clubs and our partners, will make ensure that the DELO EHF Champions League will bring drama, excitement and passion throughout the next 10 months, whether you are watching inside arenas or from the comfort of your own home. On behalf of the EHF and EHF Marketing I wish you a season to remember. Yours in sport, Michael Wiederer EHF President
