The qualification of teams to the playoffs had been determined earlier, with the last round focusing on distributing final positions and upcoming matchups for the round of 16.

Seven countries are represented in the knockout stage, showcasing the strength and diversity of European handball with teams like Füchse and Magdeburg from Germany, Aalborg and Gudme from Denmark, Kielce and Wisła from Poland, Nantes and PSG from France, Veszprem and Szeged from Hungary, Barcelona from Spain, and Sporting from Portugal.
