Group B
Preliminary group B was played in Martin , Slovakia , where the hosts of the MHC Martin laid the foundation for reaching the intermediate round on the first day of the tournament. They defeated the later group runner-up Terme Maribor 5-2. On the same day, the women of SHK Laima Riga won very clearly against the women of the Turkish champions Büyükşehir Belediyesi Ankara SK, who were clearly inferior throughout the tournament . Since Maribor beat Riga on the second day of the tournament, the Slovaks only needed one point in the last game against Riga to safely reach the second round. This succeeded with a defeat in the penalty shootout against Riga, which thus had to be content with third place.

Group F.
The intermediate round of group F was organized by the German champions OSC Berlin and took place in the Wellblechpalast in Berlin . In addition to Berlin, last year's finalist HC Lugano from Switzerland was seeded for the tournament. HC Cergy-Pontoise and HC Slavia Prague had also qualified in the preliminary round .
Cergy-Pontoise and Prague had traveled to Berlin as outsiders, whereby Prague made it harder than expected for HC Lugano in the first game and held a 2-2 until the last third, but then lost 6-2. Berlin was also able to beat the French representative on the first day of the tournament. So the following day the two unbeaten teams came to a duel, which the Swiss women contested victoriously. Since Prague won the game against Cergy-Pontoise at the same time, Lugano was the first participant in Group F to qualify for the Super Final . On the final day, the second finalist decided in the game between the hosts and the Prague women. There the Germans won a hard-fought game in the penalty shootout and were the first German team in the history of the European Women Champions Cup to travel to the final tournament. Cergy, on the other hand, was clearly inferior to the other teams and was only able to take the Fair Play Cup with him in the end.

Super final
The Super Final took place from 29 January to 3 February 2008 in the Swedish Stockholm instead. The host and defending champion AIK Solna was seeded . In addition, there were the four qualifiers from the previous round, the Swiss champions HC Lugano , the German champions OSC Berlin , the Finnish champions Espoo Blues and Aisulu Almaty as the Kazakh representative.
In the very first game of the first day of the competition, the two Scandinavian representatives met, which the defending champion and host from the capital won 4-2. On the following day, the remaining three teams intervened in the competition. While AIK Solna had no play, the Swiss representative HC Lugano prevailed against OSC Berlin and Espoo Blues was able to score three points for the first time after the previous day's defeat against Aisulu Almaty. On the third matchday, two games were scheduled again, in which Solna and Espoo each achieved their second victory.
On the following day, only one match was scheduled, so on the following two days of competition one team each had a day off. With a win, they celebrated their third success in the third tournament game, which meant that the first teams no longer had a chance of winning the tournament. Solna's competitors were then able to use the advanced day of the Super Final to reduce the gap again. But since Lugano lost for the second time and Espoo had lost the direct comparison against Solna, the Swedes were already the tournament winners before the last day and thus secured the Cup for the fourth time in total and in a row. They underpinned their sovereign tournament victory with a victory over the OSC Berlin. The Espoo Blues came in second, ahead of Aisulu Almaty.
A total of only 900 spectators attended the ten tournament games.
