The cross-border Super League defending champion's SVS STRÖCK begin with their first round travels.

SVS STRÖCK team of Austrian champion Li Qiangbing, Daniela Dodean, Nicole Galitschitsch, Valerie Tischler, Judit Herczig, Valentina Popova and the Mainland Chinese new players Fan Ying, Jiang Xue, Feng Yalan and Huang Yi Hua of Taiwan is in a group with OSK Minovce (Slovakia) and TTC Neuhausen (Switzerland).

The direct ascent to the semifinals (assuming the winning of the preliminary round group stage) seems indeed quite a possibility, with the travel logistics for the away matches to be but one of the challenges.

The first round will take place on 7 September at OSK Minovce (Slovakia).  In the limelight, the first Super League home match of SVS STRÖCK will be held on Tuesday, 27 September (5 p.m., WSA-hall in the Multiversum in Schwechat), against TTC Neuhausen (Switzerland).

Six days later (3 October at 6:30 p.m. WSA-Hall) is the match against the Breclav (CZ) in their Champions League debut.
