The 2023–24 LEN Champions League Final four was the season ending event that decided the champions of the 2023–24 LEN Champions League. The final four was held in Valletta, Malta at the National Pool Complex.[1][2]
In the final four, FTC-Telekom won their second title after triumphing over Pro Recco in the final.[3]
Host selection
Starting this season, a final four was played instead of a final eight. On 14 January 2024, Maltese media reported that the Aquatic Sports Association of Malta were in advanced talks with LEN over organising the final four.[4] On 18 January 2024, LEN announced that the capital of Malta, Valletta, would host the final four for the next three seasons at the National Pool Complex.[5][6][7]
The final four was supposed to be on the dates of 6 to 8 June. However, the schedule was revised in order to start the final four a day earlier due to the European Parliament Elections that will be held in Malta on 8 June.[8][9]
