Foreword EHF President Dear handball friends, I am delighted to welcome you to the start of the EHF European League Men 2021/22 knockout phase, which gets underway with the Last 16 on 29 March and 5 April. Now in its second season, the EHF European League Men has firmly established itself as the must-follow continental competition on Tuesday nights. The group phase once again lived up to expectation with a series of tough, intense and energetic matches, featuring an eclectic mix of teams. The competition has caught the imagination of fans across the continent with millions watching the action unfold, as Europe-wide interest in the EHF’s second-tier competition remains high. Now we focus on the 16 teams that have their sights firmly fixed on reaching the second edition of the EHF Finals Men, on 28/29 May 2022. The group phase started with 24 teams from 16 different nations, and we continue with 16 teams from 11 nations. Like last season, when SC Magdeburg won the inaugural EHF European League title, three German sides have made it into the Last 16. Apart from the defending champions, Füchse Berlin and TBV Lemgo Lippe are through. This time, France have three contenders eyeing the trophy with HBC Nantes, USAM Nimes Gard and Fenix Toulouse Handball continuing their road to the EHF Finals as well. One of the most eye-catching pairings in the Last 16 is the duel between multiple EHF Cup champions Füchse and EHF Champions League 2017/18 finalist Nantes. While other nations might have more teams in the mix, no city is better represented than Lisbon: The Portuguese capital has its two powerhouses competing: SL Benfica will face Toulouse, while Sporting CP are set to take on Magdeburg, the only team in the competition to complete their 10-match group phase campaign without a single defeat. Also, Orlen Wisla Plock will be eager to return to the EHF Finals. The Polish side beat Füchse in the race for top spot in group A but will need to get past another German side, Lemgo, in the Last 16 to get to the quarter-finals and keep their hopes of the four-team final tournament alive. The group phase has already hinted that any team in this competition can spring a surprise on their day which makes for a fascinating round of matches. It just leaves me to thank all the clubs for their fantastic cooperation throughout the season and congratulate them on reaching this stage of the competition – and, of course, good luck! Yours in sport, Michael Wiederer EHF President
