After that, the next stage will begin, which will also be the house stage, where there will be 4 teams in each group and the first 2 from each group will advance to the quarter-final stage.

 

As mentioned, Hapoel qualified from the first place of its house and will therefore qualify directly for house K. Joining Hapoel is Tenerife, which defeated Shula in the final round and thus secured the first place in group C and the qualification for the next stage.

Since then, the Spanish have kept the old skeleton and added some interesting reinforcements to it. Hapoel and Tenerife will be joined by two teams that finished 2nd-3rd in their groups and compete in the play-in stage.

 

The first play-in game that will send an opponent to group K of Hapoel will be the match between Peristri, who finished third in group A, and Ritas Vilna, who, after defeating the leader of group B, Dizon, in the final round, secured second place in the group. Karshiaka, who played at the same time as Hapoel and lost to Ostend, finished in second place and will be sent to the play-in game that intersects at Hapoel's group against Braugan of Spain, who finished in 3rd place at the home where Hapoel Holon played in.
