EGCA Competition Committee has used the current EGCA Champions League ranking and qualification stage placements in the group allocation process. You can find the current Champions League Ranking here
Step 1: The highest-ranked qualification stage winner, Old Power, and the host team, Füchse Berlin, are placed in Group A. The second highest-ranked qualification stage winner, Aarhus Goalball, and the third highest-ranked qualification stage winner, FSBU Gothenburg, are placed in Group B.
Step 2: The highest-ranked qualification stage runner-up, BRUK-BET Termalica Krakow, is placed in Group A, while the second highest-ranked runner-up, Nilüfer Buges, is placed in Group B. The third highest-ranked team, Fen Tigers, is also placed in Group A.
Step 3: First, Group B is completed with the highest-ranked team that finished third in the qualification stage, RGC Hansa Rostock. After that, Cankaya is placed in Group A to avoid two clubs from the same country being drawn into the same preliminary group. As a result, CA Cultural is placed in Group B.

Group B: Aarhus Goalball (DEN), FSBU Gothenburg (SWE), Nilüfer Buges (TUR), RGC Hansa Rostock (GER), CA Cultural (POR)
In the preliminary round, each group plays a single round-robin format, after which the top four teams from each group advance to the quarter-finals. The teams finishing fifth in their respective groups will play for 9th–10th place.
In the quarter-finals, the winners of each group will face the fourth-placed team from the opposite group, while the runners-up will face the third-placed team from the opposite group. The quarter-final winners advance to the semi-finals, while the losing teams compete for places 5–8.
The winners of the semi-finals advance to the final, while the losing teams compete in the bronze medal match.
All quarter-finals, semi-finals, medal matches, and classification matches will be played to a decision. If a match is tied at the end of regular playing time, a 6-minute golden goal overtime period will be played (the first team to score wins). If no winner is determined during overtime, the match will be decided by an extra throw competition.
The tournament will be played under existing IBSA 2025 rules.
A team earns 3 points from awin, 1 point from a draw and 0 points for a loss in a preliminary group game. The ranking of teams in a preliminary group is determined by following system:
A. Earned points
B. Goal difference
C. Missed goals
D. If two teams remain tied after criteria A–C, priority shall be given to the team that won the head-to-head match between them
E. If 2 teams remain tied after A-D criteria, there is an extra throw competition organized between those teams to determine their ranking
