The composition of the remaining pairs: "Patron" (Greece) - "Iraklis" Greece), "Arkas" (Turkey) - "Kedzezhin-Kozle" (Poland), "Tourcoing" (France) - "Cuneo" (Italy). The winners of the quarter-finals at the next stage (“challenge round”) will be awaited by the teams with the best performance among those participants in the group stage of the Champions League who did not make it to the playoffs. It is already known that if Iskra gets past Czestochowa, it will then play against the Italian Piacenza.
