Draft:2023–24 EHF European League Group stage

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 2023–24 EHF European League group stage was played between 25 October 2022 and 28 February 2023 to determine the twelve teams advancing to the knockout stage of the 2023–24 EHF European League.

Draw[edit]

The draw took place on the 21 July 2023.[1] The only restriction was that clubs from the same country cannot be in the same group.

Format[edit]

In each group, teams played against each other in a double round-robin format, with home and away matches.

Tiebreakers[edit]

In the group stage, teams were ranked according to points (2 points for a win, 1 point for a draw, 0 points for a loss), and if tied on points, the following tiebreaking criteria were applied, in the order given, to determine the rankings:

  1. Points in matches among tied teams;
  2. Goal difference in matches among tied teams;
  3. Goal difference in all group matches;
  4. Goals scored in all group matches;
  5. If more than two teams were tied, and after applying all head-to-head criteria above, a subset of teams were still tied, all head-to-head criteria above were reapplied exclusively to this subset of teams;
  6. Drawing lots.

Groups[edit]

The matchdays were 25 October, 1 November, 22 November, 29 November, 6 December, 13 December 2022, 7 February, 14 February, 21 February, and 28 February 2023.
