Following the completion of round 3 last weekend, the 16 teams left in the competition didn't have to wait long to find out their next opponents. Tuesday's draw determined the eight match-ups for February, when each team hope to punch their ticket to the quarter-finals.
In the Last 16, last season's runners-up HC Izvidac host RK Trimo Trebnje in the first leg, while Runar Sandefjord, who also were semi-finalists in 2024/25, start with an away game at MOL Tatabanya KC.
Olympiacos SFP, quarter-finalists last season and runners-up in 2023/24, are set to meet BK-46, while former EHF Champions League winners RK Celje Pivovarna Laško have been paired with Besiktas JK.
