In their opening match, the Serbian side were given a tough game against Austrian outfit Graz in a 21-20 victory and would then defeat Czech Republic's Humpolec 21-11 to top Pool A.

In the next round, they will play Slovenian team Piran who completed a tight win against Estonia's Tallinn by a score of 16-14 to set up the match between the clubs.

Latvia's Riga would humble both Tallinn and Piran in Pool C by scores of 20-9 and 21-15 and will now play Graz in the next round after they defeated Humpolec 18-15.

Pool B was convincingly won by Amsterdam who shocked world number two Novi Sad 21-18 as well as convincingly beating the hosts Debrecen 22-10.

Novi Sad lost to the Dutch team for the first time and after finishing second, will now face the in-form American team of NY Harlem who won Pool D.

NY Harlem faced the two Lithuanian sides in their pool, winning both matches against Utena and Šakiai by a score of 21-17 each.

In an all-Lithuania tie-breaker, Utena won the deciding match 20-18 to set up a clash against Amsterdam in the last quarter-final.

Tomorrow, the quarter-finals, semi-finals and final will all take place to conclude the competition, with Liman and Novi Sad potentially meeting each other earlier than expected in the final four.
