Participation
To prepare the 2018 EuroCup events, the IWBF Europe Competitions Commission would like to know whether or not your club is interested to participate in one of these events. To apply to take part in the Euro Cup please return a completed Entry Form (click to download form) to the IWBF Europe Competitions Commission as soon as possible, but in any way not later than 31 August 2017. Returning after this date means participation can no longer be guaranteed.
Interested in hosting a Euro Cup?
IWBF Europe Competitions Commission also invites clubs to make a bid to organise one of the Euro Cup events.
An Euro League preliminary round or a Final can be organised by a team / club who will also compete in the relevant competition.
The Quarter Finals of the Champions Cup is organised by the winner and the runner up of the Final 4 Champions Cup 2017, guaranteeing them automatic qualification for the quarter finals.
The Final 4 Champions Cup can be organised by any club, organisation or foundation which wish to organise this event – however only teams who qualified can compete.
