DRAW FORMAT
There are a few things to be aware of ahead of Friday’s draw.
In principle, clubs from the same association cannot be drawn against each other for the Round of 16 and clubs drawn first in each tie will be the home side for the single-leg match.

For the quarter-finals, matches one to eight will be represented in a second phase of the draw and, again, the first ball drawn from the bowl will be home team.
The process will be repeated for the semi-finals with the four quarter-finals represented in four balls that will be drawn from a bowl. The nominal home team will be the first ball pulled from the pot.
For the final, two balls will be drawn from a bowl to confirm which semi-final will be designated as the nominal home team for the final in Switzerland.
