A draw on Saturday morning in Nazare will organize the 28 men’s clubs in to groups
The participating teams in the men’s and women’s Euro Winners Cup in 2020 have been confirmed.
There will be 28 men’s teams, who will be drawn into seven groups on Saturday morning in Nazare (11am GMT+1), and there will be five women’s teams who will play in one group.
The Euro Winners Cup is set to take place between 8 and 13 September 2020, on a much-reduced scale this season, naturally due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Many teams have been unable to compete in Portugal due to restrictions on travel and quarantine measures when they return to their countries.
The event itself will also have a very different look and feel, with safety being the number one priority in the stadium. Each player, coach and member of each team’s delegation will have to provide a negative COVID-19 test ahead of competing in the Euro Winners Cup.
There are also many measures being taken on the ground to minimize contact between players and staff members, including face coverings, sanitization points and deep cleaning after each game.
Here are the competing clubs in the 2020 editions of the Euro Winners Cup. Note that one Portuguese team is still awaiting confirmation.
