2016–17 Women's CEV Cup


The 2016–17 Women's CEV Cup was the 45th edition of the European CEV Cup volleyball club tournament, the former "Top Teams Cup".

Format

The tournament was played on a knockout format, with 36 teams participating. Initially 22 teams were allocated vacancies to enter the competition, with 8 of them directly qualified to the 16th Finals on the basis of the latest CEV European Ranking List. 14 teams came from the CEV Women's Champions League qualification entering the competition at different stages.
On 30 June 2016, a drawing of lots in Varna, Bulgaria, determined the team's pairing for each match. Each team plays a home and an away match with result points awarded for each leg. After two legs, the team with the most result points advances to the next round. In case the teams are tied after two legs, a is played immediately at the completion of the second leg. The Golden Set winner is the team that first obtains 15 points, provided that the points difference between the two teams is at least 2 points.

*Note: A first leg, originally scheduled on 7 February 2017, did not took place as Vizura did not turned up for the match. Serbian press reported the Vizura team flight from Istanbul to Odessa had two aborted landing attempts due to bad weather before returning to Istanbul. The CEV with both clubs consent, decided a single match in a neutral venue played behind closed doors as the way to determine the team advancing in the competition.
