32 two-legged ties were drawn to make the straight knockout competition a reality for the many top quality teams on display.
Last season's runners-up MSK IUVENTA Michalovce of Slovakia are hoping to go one better this time, but they have plenty of hurdles to overcome before they can start thinking about another final, starting with facing HSC Kreuzlingen from Switzerland in round 2.
Spain's Malaga Costa del Sol will also have high ambitions of reaching a third final in five years. The 2020/21 winners begin against A.S.D. Handball Cassa Rurale Pontinia of Italy.
Despite no country protection and teams from all corners of the continent, the draw still provided a local derby between Austria's Greenpower JAGS Roomz Hotels and WAT Atzgersdorf.
The 32 ties are scheduled to take place in October 2024, with the first legs on 5/6 and the second legs on 12/13 October.
Here is the draw in full, with the team listed first the home team in the first leg.
