Revamp
Starting this season, the tournament was renamed the LEN Women's Euro Cup. The competition also included an expanded format, featuring 16 clubs, rather than the old final four format between the four losing Champions League quarterfinalists. The new format was created to give more club opportunities in women's water polo.[1]
