In the CEV CUp Trentino, who finished fourth of the regular season 2013-14, will take part in this competition for the second time in history following the edition 2004-05. They will take on the Serbians of Vojvodina Ns Seme Novi Sad. If it goes through, it will be up against the winner of Ok Mladost Brcko versus Maccabi Tel Aviv.
