Tiebreakers
In the group stage, teams are ranked according to points (2 points for a win, 1 point for a draw, 0 points for a loss). After completion of the group stage, if two or more teams have the same number of points, the ranking will be determined as follows:
- Highest number of points in matches between the teams directly involved;
- Superior goal difference in matches between the teams directly involved;
- Highest number of goals scored in matches between the teams directly involved;
- Superior goal difference in all matches of the group;
- Highest number of plus goals in all matches of the group;
If the ranking of one of these teams is determined, the above criteria are consecutively followed until the ranking of all teams is determined. If no ranking can be determined, a decision shall be obtained by EHF through drawing of lots.
Groups
The matchdays are 11–12 September, 17–18 September, 25–26 September, 9–10 October, 16–17 October, 23–24 October, 30–31 October, 20–21 November, 27–28 November, 4–5 December 2024, 12–13 February, 19–20 February, 26–27 February and 5–6 March 2025.[4]
