EHF ranking update: Eurofarm Pelister placed 15th after three rounds
EHF's update puts Eurofarm Pelister 15th among 32 teams after three group matches; play-offs will include 14 ties.
The European Handball Federation (EHF) published an updated ranking after three rounds of the European League, placing Eurofarm Pelister 15th among 32 participating teams. The Macedonian club holds a record of two defeats and one draw.
The ranking, released on October 21, 2026, leaves Pelister in a mid-table position: progress to the next stage is difficult but still possible if the team improves its results in the remaining group matches.
How qualification will be decided
Qualification from the group phase will be secured by the top two teams in each of the eight groups. They will be joined by 12 clubs coming from the Champions League, and the play-offs will be formed of 14 ties whose pairings will be determined by a draw.
At the top of the latest EHF ranking sits Flensburg, with Gummersbach in second place — one of Eurofarm Pelister's opponents this season.
With the play-off format and the influx of Champions League teams, Pelister must collect points quickly to climb the table; upcoming fixtures and squad form will be decisive for the club's chances to reach the knockout rounds.
