Paola Hibs Candy were drawn to face Azerbaijan's Azerrail Baku in their first ever participation in the CEV Challenge Cup competition.
Azerrail Baku are a very strong outfit with their best achievement coming in season 2001/2002 when they emerged winners in this prestigious European volleyball competition.
Among the star-studded Baku side, one finds Natavan Gasimova, an international player since 2003.
Hibs, who have just won their seventh successive league championship, will be the first Maltese volleyball club to take part in the women's CEV Challenge Cup.
They will host Azerrail Baku on October 9 and play the second leg in Azerbaijan a week later.
