First round

In first round of the competition, the clubs in each group compete against each other in singles matches (overtime and penalties apply) until one club is declared Group winner. The pairs are the result of random drawing. The match days of the First Round have been set for 16 October 2016 for Match-Day 1, 13 November 2016 for Match-Day 2, 14 December 2016 for Match-Day 3 and 22 February 2017 for each Group Final. However, all matches scheduled for 13 November were postponed via a direct order of the HFF, in association with UEFA and FIFA, in response to the arson of Superleague Chief Refereeing Officer Georgios Mpikas' house in Ierissos, Chalkidiki.[1] As a result, all Match-Day 2 matches were set for 7 December 2016, while Match-Day 3 matches were set for 21 December 2016.
