The highly-anticipated draw for the Quarter Finals of the men’s 2024/25 Euro Cup took place on Friday morning in Zagreb and produced some tantalising fixtures. The path to May’s showpiece Final was also decided.
Eleven-times Champions League winners Pro Recco Waterpolo were paired with Hungary’s Vasas Plaket, who tasted Euro Cup glory back in 2023, while last year’s bronze medallists KEIO CN Sabadell will face Montenegro’s VPK Primorac Kotor.
The other two intriguing ties see four-times winners AN Brescia take on Serbia’s SPD Radnicki and Croatia’s HAVK Mladost meet Montenegro’s PVK Jadran M:Tel Herceg Novi.
Recco and Brescia currently sit on top of their domestic A1 division with 43 points each, and after they were kept apart in Friday’s draw, there’s a chance they could meet in an all-Italian final.
Vasas, Radnicki and the other four teams pose a huge threat to that scenario though, as each side is equipped with the firepower to go all the way and lift the famous trophy in May.
The full route the teams will need to navigate to win Euro Cup gold can be seen below.
