The ten Lotto Volley League teams, which are entering the competition at this stage of the competition, and six National teams who have passed through the preliminary rounds will cross swords this weekend, from Friday to Sunday.
Mendo Booischot, Namur, Stekene Sint-Gillis, BW Nivelles, Marke Webis and Noorderkempen dream of continuing their journey as Petits Poucets. And it is already certain that a National team will reach the quarters, Namur and Stekene facing each other this weekend.
The poster that everyone is waiting for will already pit Maaseik and Roeselare, two favorites for the trophy. Respectively vice-champion and champion of Belgium, the two Flandrian numbers have not yet found their cruising speed in the championship and could take advantage of this duel at the top to launch their season.
The structure of the competition is similar for the ladies, with ten elite teams and six National teams: Stekene Sint-Gillis, Louvain, Limal Ottignies, KVC Zoersel, Amigos Zoersel and Wellen.
Last year, Asterix Avo Beveren got their hands on the Cup after a crazy final against Charleroi. The two teams could find themselves at the same stage next March being placed in two different parts of the table.
The Carolos will face this Saturday, in the round of 16, Limal Ottignies, champion of Nationale 2 last season and who is having a solid start to the year in Nationale 1. In the other part of the table, the path of Asterix Beveren is quite open, even if the Waeslandiennes do not have an excellent start to the season.
